     <h3>Tests with multiple comparison files</h3>
     <p>
       Sometimes it is necessary to provide multiple comparison files for a
-      single test. Additional comparison files have the same path as the
-      main comparison file (in this case <code>test.output</code>) followed
-      by a dot and a variant description:
