"Before" examples

A before example is intended to be used for functionality required by each example where adding it to the specification improves the communication aspect for the reader.

There are two ways of specifying before-all-examples behavior.

Concordion "before"

As e:example command effectively is the very same concordion example hence it supports the before examples concordion feature.

<e:example name="before"> The variable 
  <code>fromConcordionBefore</code> will be reset to 
  <code e:set="#fromConcordionBefore = now()">{{now "HH:mm:ss.SSS"}}</code> before each example. 
</e:example>

In the following example 1 the fromConcordionBefore variable is available but fromExamBefore is not.

Exam "before"

Main difference from concordion before is that that content of a e:before-each command will be effectively inlined in the beginning of each subsequent example.

For example let's (re)set fromExamBefore variable before each example.

<e:before-each> The variable 
  <code>fromExamBefore</code> will be reset to 
  <code e:set="#fromExamBefore">{{now "HH:mm:ss.SSS"}}</code> before each example. 
</e:before-each>

Both variables are available, e:before-each block embedded at the beginning of the each subsequent example.
