Hi Keith,
Yes, that is the exact intention with the test harness, but allowing for
any language, any table contracted or not.
Now that the harness is stable and usable, we are looking for data to
test various tables.
As many probably have noticed, we have managed to improve and clarify
the hungarian table, thanks to the tests and braille strings that Hammer
Attila has provided.
Christian and Bert have simular German strings which we are looking to
use (waiting to check copyright etc), and in the same vane we are
looking for tests for other braille tables.
Do you still have access to the test files that you used, and might it
be ok to let the liblouis project have a copy?
Thanks,
Mesar
