[Boost-users] [test] Customizing the xml logs

Hi,

it doesn't seem to exist a simple way to customize the xml output without 
rewriting the xml log formatter altogether - is that right? I'd like to be 
able to specifiy the tag names used (TestSuite, TestLog, TestCase etc) for 
compatibility with an already existing log parser.

It would be nice to have the current xml_log_formatter either providing 
overridable methods or a traits template parameter used for setting the tag 
names, e.g.:

enum xml_log_tag_type
{
    testsuite_tag,
    ...
};

class xml_log_formatter
{
...
private:
    virtual const_string tag(xml_log_tag_type t) const;
};

.. or ...

struct default_xml_log_tag_provider
{
    static const_string& tag(xml_log_tag_type t);
};

template<typename TagProvider = default_xml_log_tag_provider>
class xml_log_formatter
{ ... };
