New issue 655 by i_myst...@yahoo.fr: \n and \t are not interpreted after  
building of test data doc from testdoc.py
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=655

Hi,

After building of test data documentation from testdoc.py
(Test data documentation tool) the contents of block [documentation] are  
not correctly returned.

Indeed, \n and \t are not interpreted in the generated document.

- Difficult reading.
- Bad structure of test description (documentation).

My punctual bypassing consists in replacing \n by <br/> and \t by ' ' when  
the file is generated :

A the end of methode serialize_test_doc I added the following lines :

    #
    #  07.09.2010 - P. DJOUOB
    #  ***PATCH***
    #  Replacement of \n by <br/> and \t par '  '
    #

    f_in = open(outpath,'r')
    c_proc = f_in.read()
    c_proc = c_proc.replace('\\'+'n','<br/>')
    c_proc = c_proc.replace('\\'+'t','\t')
    f_in.close()
    f_in = open(outpath,'w')
    f_in.write(c_proc)
    f_in.close()

Best regards
Patrick
