In the Ontiki project, I am acting as my own initial customer and the primary customers (for at least a while) will be Ruby programmers. So, I'm playing with the use of a pre-processor which allows use of eRuby (for selection, repetition, and variable substitution), line folding, etc. This DRYs out my editable files (fe/*.fe), while generating readable and Gherkin-compliant feature (*.feature) files. This would not work well for a highly interactive situation, but it might work in a situation like the one you describe. It may also give us some useful feedback about useful extensions for Gherkin. -r -- http://www.cfcl.com/rdm Rich Morin http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/resume r...@cfcl.com http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/weblog +1 650-873-7841 Technical editing and writing, programming, and web development _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
