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 On May 18, 2010, at 3:01 AM, Tom Breton (Tehom) wrote: > In developing emtest, I've given some thought to conventions for test > files.
