Please make it clear when you are speaking about not implemented features, I just loose half an hour because of that. Currently only the following syntax is “working”: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- <test-case> <entity-xml action="load" entity-xml-url="..."/> </test-case> --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- -- Mathieu Lirzin GPG: F2A3 8D7E EB2B 6640 5761 070D 0ADE E100 9460 4D37
