                        a string or a vector of strings: references of the modules to test.

                                the technical name of a Scilab internal module, that is the name
                                of the root directory of the module.

                                the relative or absolute path of the root directory of the module.
                                This must be used for installed ATOMS modules or other external modules.

                    <para>
                        The root directory of each targeted module must have a
                        <literal>./help</literal> subdirectory containing the XML source files of
                        help pages where examples to test are provided, gathered by languages as
                        in the source package of any standard module.
                        Example of the template toolbox_skeleton module:

                    <para>

               When testing examples of any external module, it is mandatory to autoload the module
               at Scilab startup. This can be achieved either by setting the ATOMS module as
               autoloaded, or by loading the module through the user's startup file.
