RE: Test suite output format

Thanks for working on this Leroy,

 

A few notes:

 

-   It seems there is still a XML header at the top.

-   It may be easier to open the files if the extension is .txt

-   I think we said we would not output outputType for that format.

-   We may want to quote the resulting values (although if it’s too complicated to mix attribute syntax and tab-delimited any single-line syntax would work, as long as we agree upon one.

 

Cheers,

-yves

Here is a small sample of the tab delimited output for translate.

Hey Felix,

I have the new text output ready to go I have basically put the output
through another XSLT page to make it produce text output as described
by Yves. I will add in details to the page about the textual output
when i am adding in the new output files to the webpage (while also
updating all the zip files).

Thanks,
Leroy
