Since i don't consider this as an issue to be reported at GitHub rather than a new way to do things then i just want to know how should i do this. I understand that i can write a custom subclass of the HtmlFormatter and do there whatever i like. This is the actual case - i already have an subclass of HtmlFormatter, but the problem is that super class is acting differently than it was in 1.x. In HtmlFormatter#example_group_started a parameter called example_group was an actual instance of the current ExampleGroup in 1.x thus i were able to modify it's description so it would have additional information in my custom html formatter report. In 2.x the parameter example_group is not anymore an instance of an ExampleGroup, but just a class constant for runtime ExampleGroup class, thus there's nothing useful to do with that parameter anymore. How should/could i modify the description now? I'm afraid that in HtmlFormatter#example_started where i could access the ExampleGroup from the Example instance it's already too late since ExampleGroup description might be already flushed to the report. Haven't tried that yet though. Hopefully you understand my concern better now.
