Document many packages from many views

[CJ]

G'day folks,

I'd like to be able to produce HTML/RTF documentation, for a group of packages from different views, as a "bundle".  Is there a way to do that currently?  (Aside from setting up links all over the place, and moving packages around before producing different "bundles" of documentation.)

If there currently isn't a way, then please consider my following wish:  virtual packages.  Essentially, picture a package (or a diagram) whose sole purpose is to document a view of the project ... links to any package (or any UML object, for that matter);  when producing documentation for the virtual package, or even generating code/DDL, all linked objects would be "sucked into" the process.

What do you think?  Would it be easy enough to implement and use?  Has this already been beaten to death in another thread?

Hi Jason,

No - at the moment this is not readily doable. You can achieve sort of the same outcome by creating a Word Master document and linking in many rtf documents. There would be some additional work in keeping all the documents refreshed ... but this could probably be done using the automation interface and some VBA or similar.

In HTML there is no way.

It should not be too difficult to arrange - so Ill make a note to see what can be done later in the year.

Cheers,
Geoff Sparks
