Oh yes ! Thnx for mentioning that ! Very much ! If you move or remove shortDescription then I think dutest will be broken. In that case there is an automatically generated short description comprising the doctest name or id (e.g. class name + method name ;o) and example index (just remember that every interactive example is considered to be a test case ;o) In that case there is no other way to get this done unless an all-mighty & heavy test result be implemented . So I am *VERY* -1 for removing `shortDescription` (and I also think that TC should be the one to provide the short desc rather than the test result, just like what Ben Finney said before ;o) -- Regards, Olemis.
