Create public-domain test infobase #9

We currently use a private test infobase (the folio help file), which prevents our CI servers from passing, and makes it difficult for others from contributing to the project. It's also not terribly complete.

We want to create a test infobase that

  • Contains only public-domain content
  • Has a consistent appearance, so that the corresponding (exported) HTML can be visually compared with relative ease, and issues quickly spotted.
  • Is small (preferably 500kb or less). This is for speed, which matters when you run tests millions of times.
  • Exercises all modern (and legacy) folio flat file features.

Exercises

  • Tables (including header rows, columns, cells, spacing, padding, borders, colors, and spans)
  • Tab stops (including left, center, right, dot/dash/alternating leaders, and custom series)
  • Fonts, spacing, margins, justification
  • Cross-infobase queries and links (this will require a 2nd infobase)
  • Headings
  • Bookmarks, jump destinations
  • Popups, named popups, notes
  • Fields, including overlapping field applications
  • Hidden text
  • Underlining, strikeout, italics
  • Levels, hierarchies, including skipping levels
  • Objects and object links (including all image formats - bitmap, png, gif, jpeg)
  • Data links (pdfs, spreadsheets, etc)
  • Program links
  • Highlighters, link styles, and character styles
  • Web links
  • Query links (including level, field, and group queries). Text indexing rules (we want to verify that we mimic the Folio search algorithm 100% when resolving these).
  • Groups

And all the esoteric, undocumented (or supposedly invalid) flat file codes that we've encountered over the years, like:

  • TS (empty tab stop with no parameters)

Idea: perhaps import public-domain word content?
