Is that possible now, excluding sub-dirs ? If so how as I'd love to implement it so we can have more accurate results to work from for refining. I've also written a xslt (based on the txt output currently) and use Saxon9B to convert it to HTML from the command line on the server. I'll have these simple HTML reports online today sometime. It would be useful to have this integrated into RAT I guess so that a -H option or similar can produce HTML outputs for us. The end user projects and buildbot need then only alter a basic supplied CSS stylesheet for their needs. Gav... > > Ross
