Formatters

Implementing a custom Formatter

A formatter is a set of actions. Each action is evaluated when a certain situation is encountered during a test run.

Actions live in the FormatM monad. It provides access to the runner state and primitives for appending to the generated report.

A Path describes the location of a spec item within a spec tree.

It consists of a list of group descriptions and a requirement description.
