!2 FAQ for Programmers

----!3 How to do some processing before and/or after a fixture does its work:
 * See DoFixture.SetUpTearDown
----!3 How to keep the HTML tags within a table cell, as they're important to the test:
 * See ^KeepTags
----!3 Flow style with ''!-DoFixture-!'' doesn't work when I use an Import table
 * That's because the fixture of the first table of a storytest has to be a ''!-DoFixture-!'' for flow to be used.
 * However, there's no need for the Import table in flow style, because there's no need to mention fixture names after the first one with ''!-DoFixture-!''
----!3 What's the point of removing fixture names?
 * They add technical complexity to the storytests that are best hidden away from customers who read/write storytests
 * It's then possible to substitute different fixtures without having to change the storytests
----!3 What's the point of substituting fixtures?
 * The same storytests can be used to test a system at different levels
 * Some fixtures are used to test the system under test directly at the domain layer
 * Other fixtures could have some extra code to instead test the system through a UI or some other interface
 * Some fixtures could generates user documentation from some of the storytests

----!3 My tests used to pass, but they fail with the latest ''!-FitLibrary-!''
 * Here's one possibility, if you've been using ''parse delegates'':
 * In the latest version, all registered ''parse delegates'' are cleared at the end of a test, to avoid potentially confusing interactions between tests (''test indepedence'' is a fundamental principle of storytesting).
 * Perhaps your tests previously depended on this interaction?
 * If so, you'll need to ensure that ''parse delegates'' are registered for each test.
 * That's easy if you use the same (''!-DoFixture-!'') class to start all your tests: simply register the ''parse delegates'' in the constructor of the class. That is, don't do it in a ''static { ... }'' block.
