#73 Provide support for RobotFramework

[Carlos Miguel de Azevedo Morais]

Hi,

RobotFramework is a test automation framework. Home page here http://robotframework.org/.

• File extensions associated with the language: txt,tsv,html

• A description of how comments are defined: using the # character.
  Example
  # if {OUTPUT_FODER} is EMPTY, set it to default folder
  Others lines that should be ignored since are not 'code' but only markers to define specific sections
  *** Variables ***
  *** Test Cases ***
  *** Settings ***
  *** Keywords ***
  [Documentation]
  [Tags]

• Link to examples: http://robotframework.org/#examples

If more information needed please request.

Thanks.

Comments are defined using # character or Comment word

I will add support for RobotFramework -- but only for the tsv file extension. Including txt and html has me scratching my head: how would one distinguish RobotFramework files from ordinary txt files? is it worth the performance hit to open every txt file (these are currently ignored)? It is a pity RobotFramework didn't select a unique extension. Perhaps another code counter is more suited to the task than cloc.

Support for the tsv extension was added with svn commit 383

v1.62 released

RobotFramework now supports .robot (with the same internal format as its .txt format)

.robot is already supported in the current release, v1.64
