end | |

# One characteristic that the HTMLReport and PlainTextReport share is that they look fragmentary. | |
# Cause they do not override the key template method, output_report. | |
# In the Template Method pattern, the abstract base class controls the higher-level processing | |
# through the template method; the sub-classes simply fill in the details. |
