Re: Test-file naming conventions - mine and suggested for org

[Carsten Dominik <carsten.dominik@gmail.com>]

Hi Tom,

as you may or may not have noticed, by merging your patch I actually  
have created the new directory "testing" in the org-mode git repository.

Can I invite you to build this out into a testing system for Org-mode?

Basically, I think, this would mean adding your testing package (is it  
called emt?)
and documenting for other how to create and run tests like the ones  
which you have in
testing/org-html/tests.el

Cheers

- Carsten
