Hello Mauro, yes it is logical. But there are cases where it would be easier if the parameter parsing would be smart enough to interpret "homepage_<browser>" as "homepage_firefox" for example.
I think it would be more flexible and possibly easy to implement in JBehave. Inside the parameter value JBehave could examine if there is a parameter inside it which it needs to resolve from the examples table and then do it. So it would be more flexible what one could do with parameters in the stories. 2014-03-14 21:06 GMT+01:00 Mauro Talevi <mauro.tal...@aquilonia.org>: > Parameter values are always identified by surrounding spaces.
