Assert{ 2.0 } makes test/unit competitive with any of those literate systems.

[Plug!] Here's what the latest (unreleased) version can do. This is an XPath test using Java and some Brand-X framework:

assertThat(
     document,
     hasTextAtXPath("//div[@id='info']//p[id='name']",
       containingString("Bob Jones")));

Here's the equivalent, with the XPath converted into a lite Ruby DSL:

   assert_xhtml document

   assert do
     xpath :div, :info do
       xpath :p, :name, ?. => 'Bob Jones'
     end
   end

Among other benefits, it handles escapes and naughty characters in the string payloads correctly. And if the inner xpath fails, its diagnostic only contains the <div id='info'>...</div> - not the entire containing document!
