Hi everyone,

I’ve released **robotframework-reportlens 0.1.5** , a single-file HTML report generator that builds a modern, interactive view directly from Robot Framework’s `output.xml`.

The goal of this project is to provide a **fast, execution-accurate debugging view** while keeping the report **self-contained** and easy to share.

## ✨ Highlights in 0.1.5 (Bug Fixes)

- **Inline screenshot rendering**
  - **Screenshots now render inline** – Log messages with `html="true"` (e.g. screenshots captured by SeleniumLibrary / Browser library via `Capture Page Screenshot`, or any keyword using `Log HTML`) are now rendered as inline images in the Logs & Messages pane, matching the behaviour of Robot Framework’s built-in `log.html`.
  - **Images open in a new tab** – Clicking a screenshot opens it in a new browser tab without navigating away from the report. Each `<img>` tag is wrapped in an `<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">` link at render time by `renderMessageBody`.
  - **Keyword expansion unaffected** – Clicking an image or any link inside a log message no longer accidentally triggers keyword selection/expansion. The `[data-keyword-id]` click handler now guards against clicks originating from within `.log-message` on `<img>` or `<a>` elements.
  - **Plain-text messages unchanged** – Messages without `html="true"` continue to be HTML-escaped; only messages explicitly flagged as HTML are rendered as raw markup.

## 🧪 What it focuses on

This tool is intentionally focused on:

- Accurate execution tree
- Fast navigation
- Clear failure context

It does **not** try to replace analytics platforms (e.g. ReportPortal, RobotDashboard) — it’s a lightweight debugging report.
