HunspellXML Format > Tests

The <tests>...</tests> element may be placed inside the following elements:

• <hunspell>...</hunspell>
• <prefix>...</prefix>
• <suffix>...</suffix>

(Only a single <tests>...</tests> block may also go directly inside the <hunspell>...</hunspell> element.)

Each <test>...</tests> element may contain multiple <good>[list of words]</good> and <bad>[list of words]</bad> elements.

Inside the <good> and <bad> elements, you can place a list words designed to test whether your prefix, suffix, and other dictionary rules are working correctly. Words that should show up as correct go inside <good>[list of words]</good>, and words that are incorrect should go in <bad>[list of words]</bad>.

All of the <good> tests will be merged into a file [my_hunspell_dictionary]_good.txt, and all of the <bad> tests will be merged into a file [my_hunspell_dictionary]_bad.txt. The words in these files will be tested with the generated Hunspell dictionary and any errors will be reported.
