[Buildbot-devel] Processing a log file to create a HTMLLog in a custom BuildStep

[Philippe McLean]

I would suggest implementing your XML -> HTML conversion as an independent
tool/script, checking that into your source tree, and executing it on the
slave side to generate the html log there.

This makes it easier to develop your markup script and avoids the
antipattern of implementing a lot of code in master.cfg.
