Feature: Doc strings
If you need to specify information in a scenario that won't fit on a single line,
you can use a DocString.
A DocString follows a step, and starts and ends with three double quotes, like this:
```gherkin
When I ask to reset my password
Then I should receive an email with:
"""
Dear bozo,
Please click this link to reset your password
"""
```
It's possible to annotate the DocString with the type of content it contains. This is used by
formatting tools like http://relishapp.com which will render the contents of the DocString
appropriately. You specify the content type after the triple quote, like this:
```gherkin
Given there is some Ruby code:
"""ruby
puts "hello world"
"""
```
You can read the content type from the argument passed into your step definition, as shown
in the example below.
Scenario: Plain text Docstring
Given a scenario with a step that looks like this:
"""gherkin
Given I have a lot to say:
\"\"\"
One
Two
Three
\"\"\"
"""
And a step definition that looks like this:
"""ruby
Given /say/ do |text|
puts text
end
"""
When I run the feature with the progress formatter
Then the output should contain:
"""
One
Two
Three
"""
Scenario: DocString passed as String
Given a scenario with a step that looks like this:
"""gherkin
Given I have some code for you:
\"\"\"
hello
\"\"\"
"""
And a step definition that looks like this:
"""ruby
Given /code/ do |text|
puts text.class
end
"""
When I run the feature with the progress formatter
Then the output should contain:
"""
String
