mariadb/mysql-test/xml

This directory contains all of the test cases for the MySQL Test Suite
marked up in XML.

To convert these test cases from XML into 'mysqltest' format, one needs
an XSL translator installed on their system. At MySQL, we use Sablotron
(http://www.gingerall.com/). Once installed, conversion happens with a 
command like this:

	sabcmd xsl/mysqltest.xsl < tests/sel000001.xml > sel000001.test

The file 'sel000001.test' contains the plain text conversion that is
to be fed into the 'mysqltest' program.

Below is an example of a test case marked up in XML; illustrating all
of the XML mark-up currently supported in our 'mysqltest.xsl' stylesheet.
