ask for help to create customized template
« on: October 25, 2009, 04:10:27 am »
Hello, all,
   I want to create a rtf document from the ea project. And in this doc I need to have a special cover on which some user defined document variables(I invoke this concept from MS word file) like document name, author, project name, version and so on will be automatically put to some areas. Is it possible to define this kind of variable in ea project? If it is, how? And meanwhile how can I put it to the document template?
Next point is, on second page, we need to put a table of history which describes by whom and when this document is changed. Beside that we still need to create some categories for all the figures, tables and requirement keys like TOC, how can I create them from ea?
I am also puzzled by the export of ea project in XML format. My ea project has a link to rich text. When I export the project, I see that the cotent of this linked text is put in meta data specified by tag "bin.base64". But When I decode it from base64, I find it is binary, not in rtf format. I would like to ask what kind of fomat this text is in when it is coverted from base64 and how I can continue changing it to RTF?

Thanks

Wei

For the variables bit, have a look at Project Constants...

Thanks, Nick, because I am not so familiar with EA, could you please tell me how to define project constant and in the RTF template how I can  select such constants for the corresponding areas on cover?
Do you think ea is suitable for this kind of RTF document I mentioned above?
