Yes, I tried that too and it is not working still. I started to digg  
in the cli.rb and clearly there is a registration process happening in  
the build_formatter_broadcaster.
But somehow it is not finding my formatter .. trying to debug it more

Sorry I should have been more clear about the hooks.. I meant the  
formatter hooks. I see the main one used in the pretty_formatter and  
that are called by the executor. But It seems in the html_formatter  
that you are even using some other hook (likely those are called  
during the tree parsing ... just a guess) but cannot see all the one  
that are available and when. I am actually writing formatter to  
understand the order of calls.

Yes  I am and notice you use that pattern but I am not familiar with  
treetop. But seems a bit complicated for a custom reporter to have to  
mess with that. the HTML Report clearly will break without those calls  
at the right place...
so a simple diagram would hel understanding how calls are made. Once I  
am able to rrun that custom report, I can try to make one and send it  
to you to add to the wiki

Thanks
