RFT document generation: recursive child elements

[jmberrio]

Hi.

I am using EA 7; I have an EA project with a package and some elements in it. Also, each element has some child elements, but not only in one level, but in several leves. For example:

Package
   Element 1
      Element 1.1
         Element 1.1.1
      Element 1.2

When generating the RTF documentation for these elements, i'm having some troubles using recursive generation. In my template, the Element -> Child elements section is selected, but empty (not rendered). This causes all the recursive levels to be processed, and child elements are generated the same way that their parent section (Element), so I get the documentation for all of them, but all levels are indented the same:

Package 1
   Element 1
   Element 1.1
   Element 1.1.1
   Element 1.2

Is there any way I can get this recursive documentation, with the correct indentation for each level? I've tried almost everything, and have searched through the web and this forum, but haven't find anything about this problem. I have also tried List Overrides, for at least have the correct numbering for each level, but i get the same problem with child elements and even with child packages.

I'd be very thankful If you have a solution for the indentation issue.

Thanks in advance.

This is a actualy a design feature - as the width of a page has limitations, but the number of levels of indent can be infinite, the indentation is represented by incrementng the font style of the header fonts.  It is common for these to be reduced in size from Header 1 to header 9. The TOC however does support this indentation.  I would suggest you have a look at the whitepaper on the RTF report generation for more detail on this.

Hi Dermot.

I was hoping this feature were supported, because re-indenting the documentation of the model in Word for example, takes much time. Anyway, my question wasn't about tables of contents, but about generating RFT documentation for the model. I basically use the name of the element an its notes.

I've read the paper about RFT documentation, but couldn't manage to get what I wanted.

Thank you very much for your help. At least I won't take more time trying to make it by modifying the template
