62 * Test fixture for tests that check string formatting.
64 * For development, tests that use this fixture as their base can be run with a
65 * '-stdout' command-line option to print out the tested strings to stdout.
66 * If this flag is not given, they check the strings using the XML reference
67 * framework (see TestReferenceData).
69 * Tests that need simple checking of a string, or container of
70 * strings, should consider the normal implementation in
71 * TestReferenceChecker.
