+ <title>Log options</title>
+ <p>With the <c>logopts</c> start flag, it's possible to specify
+ options that modify some aspects of the logging behaviour.
+ Currently, the following options are available:</p>
+ <list>
+ <item><c>no_src</c></item>
+ <item><c>no_nl</c></item>
+ </list>
+ <p>With <c>no_src</c>, the html version of the test suite source
+ code will not be generated during the test run (and consequently
+ not be available in the log file system).</p>
+ <p>With <c>no_nl</c>, Common Test will not add a newline character
+ (\n) to the end of an output string that it receives from a call to e.g.
+ <c>io:format/2</c>, and which it prints to the test case log.</p>
+ <p>For example, if a test is started with:</p>
+ <p><c>$ ct_run -suite my_SUITE -logopts no_src</c></p>
+ <p>then printouts during the test made by successive calls to <c>io:format("x")</c>,
+ will appear in the test case log as:</p>
+ <p><c>xxx</c></p>
+ <p>instead of each <c>x</c> printed on a new line, which is the default behaviour.</p>
