Yep, please, let maintain how pan is generating the results output and just=
=20
create some parsers that could write the output in another format.

But my question is, do we really need to have a parser to geneate kind of a=
=20
HTML file? I guess that the normal text file is already enough.

I didn't want to add the error info at the same file so we could easily ask=
=20
LTP to run only the failed test cases. As we already have all the output at=
=20
another file, I don't think that we should modify how we're creating this=20
file.

I guess that what we have at the output file is enough to see what's=20
happening, like:
<<<test_start>>>
tag=3Dgf17 stime=3D1189631960
cmdline=3D"growfiles -W gf17 -b -e 1 -i 0 -L 120 -u -g 5000 -T 100 -t=20
499990 -l -C 10 -c 1000 -S 10 -f Lgf03_"
contacts=3D""
analysis=3Dexit
initiation_status=3D"ok"
<<<test_output>>>
gf17        1  PASS  :  Test passed
<<<execution_status>>>
