Hello,

it took me a while, but I had a look at your code, at least. Your new
module seem very reasonnable to me, thank you. 

The thing is that I don't quite understand the tests. Could you please
give your files sensible names? Have a look at how the AsciiDoc tests
are organized: they are in t/data-30. You have a bunch of source
files, one per feature set. And for each file you have a out and po
files. All of these files are listed in t/30-asciidoc.t 

So you just have to "cp t/30-asciidoc.t t/31-rubydoc.t", edit
t/31-rubydoc.t to change the asciidoc tests into rubydoc ones.

if you have any issue with integrating your tests, I can certainly do
that, but I'd need you to give sensible names to the test files, please.

Sorry for the latency, I'll try to be more responsive in the future.

Bye, Mt.
