formatted text in Use Case notes

[Gary Wong]

Hi,

Any way to format the text in the Use Case notes?  Nothing fancy, just underlining and maybe bold.  This is following Alistair Cockburn's use case template examples...

TIA,
Gary Wong

Hi,

We have had a lot of requests for this and I am keen to do something ... the main issues are really around using the RTF in HTML, XMI, RTF documents and ordinary edit windows. The note field show up in a lot of places - so changing it to RTF would entail a few changes.

Another thought I have played with is having tagged values for RTF content - this would allow one or more RTF text documents to be attached to an object - and conceivably be inserted into RTF documents or HTML. In this case the basic notes field would stay as it is and an RTF editor would be included to edit structured text in the form of tagged values.

As I mentioned, this is a popular request - and I promise to look into it as soon as possible.


Cheers,

Geoff,

This particular client wants everything in HTML, so I've used your idea of 'tags' and just added the <b> and <u> and "&nbsp;" HTML tags that I needed.

It looks fine upon 'HTML Generation', and it's a good workaround for now.

Thanks for the quick response,
Gary Wong
