Table in RTF report -

[speekna]

Hi everybody...

I searched the user guide & the forum & have been playing with RTF templages - but still have a problem.

I would like to create a simple table in an rtf report with 4 columns -
Column 1 - element name
Column 2 - element Attribute name
Column 3 - element Attribute alias
Column 4 - element Attribute note

The problem seems to be that a table can contain fields for only one kind of section - i.e., either element fields or attribute fields, but not both.

Has anyone done this?  Or can you point me to appropriate help/documentation?

Thanks!

I don't think this is possible.
But if it were, you would get the same value (for element) repeated for each attribute. Closest you could probably get is to create a single cell table and place the element name in that, then within that table create a new table to hold the attribute data.
Something like....
+----------------------------------------------+
|element>                                      |
|{element.name}                                |
|attribute>                                    |
|                +------------+-------------+  |
|                |{Att.Name}  |{Att.Notes}  |  |
|                +------------+-------------+  |
|<attribute                                    |
|<element                                      |
+----------------------------------------------+

Have a play?

sorry the formatting got screwed, but hopefully you can see what I mean.

just took me 40-odd minutes to solve the same problem, but it can be done.

I wanted to embed file>{ElemFile.FilePath}<file inside an element><element section.

I did it like this:
* activate the Element Section
* draw my table within it
* active the File section, add my content (FilePath) inside it
* Highlight and COPY the whole file>*<file section text
* DEACTIVE the File section, removing it from the doc
* position the cursor where the FilePath is required and PASTE

this pastes the markup code where it is required.. hope this helps..

Thanks Barry,

Lovely solution, and probably 'portable' to other template issues.
