How to show mbunit/gallio TestLog or Console output in Jenkins? - jenkins

Question

I'm using Gallio/MbUnit framework for my web testing, and the tests are kicked off from Jenkins. I've installed the Gallio/MbUnit plugin and it's publishing the xml report. I'm trying to find a way to display test log or console messages in the "Test Result" section so the team can easily read failures instead of digging into the "Console Output" for any failed test run.
When I run these Gallio/MbUnit tests from my local machine using Icarus everything is pretty nicely formatted, but not so much with Jenkins. I'd like to keep using it and improve how we display the errors. Suggestions?
For a failed test:

Failing for the past 4 builds (Since Failed#128 )

There is a general console parsing plugin you can use to add a post build step https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Log+Parser+Plugin
