Hi,
it doesn't seem to exist a simple way to customize the xml output
without rewriting the xml log formatter altogether - is that right?
I'd like to be able to specifiy the tag names used (TestSuite,
TestLog, TestCase etc) for compatibility with an already existing
log parser.
I guess I could make it config file configurable (next release when
I finally start supporting config files for Boost.Test).
Would it be good enough?
If you could provide me with a brief explanation of how the config
files are to be used (together with an example), I might be able to
answer that ;-)
I will add parameter --config <file-name> for the framework and
config file will present parameters like this:
namespace boost
 namespace test
   namespace log
     namespace format
xml::doc_tag   TestLog
     xml::suite_tag   TestSuite
     xml::case_tag   TestCase
endnamespace
   endnamespace
 endnamespace
endnamespace
A config file sounds like a great idea, and the above would work for me. 
Using a more-or-less standard fileformat instead of the above would be a 
plus though, IMHO.
