Thanks, it will nor completely replace the manually created tests, but will
help the writer to create them.
The writer may still have to edit the harness file to have maximum flexibility.

Something like this?
--cut--
hello
world
hello world this is a test
hello, world! a line with 9 words and 3 punctuation marks.
1Orange, 2bananas and apples45
--end cut--
The tests should test for contractions i.e. the single words and sentances, but
should also test the interaction between
punctuation/numbers and contractions, when there is no space.

Yes this sounds good, please look at the updated hu1_harness.py, I saved some
empty lines by putting "}, {" on the same line.
otherwise it will need many keypresses for when moving to a new test.

I think just printing the tests is enough, the tester can then add the
header/footer by hand, it is not much work, so maybe no
need for parameters.

Yes, it is true for Hungarian, but may not be true for other languages, so the
'brl' messages can be produced using
lou_translatestring, but should be definitely checked by hand to make sure they
give the correct braille.

test hardness is fine, the 'txt' tag can include any text.
Maybe the script should check that there is no ' or ", and if there is the
string should be tripple quoted like this:
'txt': u"""Hello this string has a ' and a " as part of the test"""

doctests and the harness does the same job, but we have not agreed how to best
merge them.
I think the doctests would currently take more typing if done by hand.
Do you have a github account where I can see the current script?
