RTF Documentation Template Question
« on: July 12, 2008, 04:59:04 am »
hello...

is it possible to display the same element field in two different locations of the template?  in other words, i am displaying the methparameter.Type and methparameter.Name tags inside the method tags (see below) but then want to display MethParameter.Notes after Meth.Notes.  however, the second set of Methparameter tags don't work (i copied and pasted them).  any way around this?  

i thought about assigning the MethParameter.Notes to a variable, hiding MethParameter.Notes, then displaying the variable somewhere else in the template?  is that possible?  thanks for your help.

method >
{Meth.Scope} {Meth.Name} (parameter > {MethParameter.Type} {MethParameter.Name},< parameter)
Summary: {Meth.Notes}

Parameters:  (parameter > {MethParameter.Notes} < parameter)
< method

The RTF report generator only supports placing Section &/or Fields within the Section that they are accessible from.

Dermot...

thanks for the reply.  given this "limitation", is it possible to capture the value i need while in the section, assign it to a data field, and then use the data field elsewhere in the template?

i guess what i'm asking for is a clarification on data fields.  not sure how to use them.

thanks.

Datafields are not really something we support so I have never tried it.  It is a feature of the third-party addin used.  Let us know if it is of use.

Dermot...

can you tell me what this third-party add-in product is called or the name of the third-party company?  perhaps they can lend me some help.
