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!
