Empty lines in rtf documents
« on: September 22, 2004, 05:20:22 pm »
Enterprise Architect is good, and very good value for the money. I'm trying to get more to use it in my company.

Since it works very well for me I'm down to trying to figure out the details, and one of the few annoying ones is the rtf document generation. Even after fiddeling a lot with the rtf template I find it impossible to get rid of all the empty lines.
Any ideas, hints, documents I should read?
This is a real problem for me.
I noticed some other posts regarding this some months ago, but no solutions.

A very minor issue is that I need to add a space first in package (and other notes) or the first word disappears in the rtf document. Also I can't find any rtf template for package notes and some other notes.
Any comments.
What am I missing. ;-))

I use version 4.1, build 732.

Thank you all
Ole

I use a Word macro to get rid of the empty lines. I couldn't do it with the templates either.

Thank you
And of course if one starts down this road then pretty soon one have extended the word macro to understand some html tags for simple formatting, and possible file inclusions.
It would however be a bit more elegant if EA had support for relative simple documentation features like this. Professional looking documentation is very important as it signals something how good you are at simple tings, and on the other hand i you cant make the documentation look professional why should anybody trust you to be able to create high quality solutions. :-))
EA is a very good product and just a small step avay from being marvelous.
Note formatting as is possible in this message forum editor would be a wonderful addition to EA.
