Description

I want to combine pytest-html and pytest-timeout. I'm operating on Windows, so I have to use the thread-method of timing out from pytest-timeout, which causes a full-stop to all testing. I want an html from pytest-html to be generated in this instance, but was unsure of the plausibility of this from hierarchy issues with the interrupt.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look into pytest html hooks and pytest timeout interaction; explore if pytest exception interact or a custom plugin can capture timeout and generate report.
