This is fantastic! I admit that I must gave skimmed over the that in
the book, but your wiki page made it very clear.

I wrote some steps that call a command and capture the output with
IO@popen. In my code I was testing, I used puts everywhere and could
not figure out how to match the newlines in Cuke,

E.g.
  Then the output should be
  """
  <output>

  """

  Scenarios:
    |command|args|output|
    |option|:dummy|-d, --[no]-dummy|

Thanks for the wiki page!
