Docu generator - spanning cols in a table

[Martinigue]

Hello all,
I want the documentation generator to output into a table, so that e.g. constraints of a use case be placed in rows like Name in the first column and Notes in the second column yet it seems infeasible as the Element \ Constraint section gets placed within one cell only without the possibility to span over more columns. Is there any workaround to achieve what I desire?

In order to span multiple cells of a table you would need to set the Section start/End external to the table - however a work around is to Insert the sections then define a table inside this (inside the current table).

Whoa...I cannot believe I got a reply to this ....-D Setting the section external to a table - ok, I had thought about this already and see your point, but could you please be more specific about your idea of the workaround? 'table inside the current table', I am afraid I got lost here ...

I had the same problem and came up with the same solution to get the nested data accross two columns. not pretty; but it works.

Add the section (tick the box)
create the table(2x3) inside the section
Add the headings to the three cells in row 1
In row 2 add the section 1 fields you want in in cell 1
Now merge cell 2 & 3
add the new subordinate section (tick the box) with the cursor in the merged cell
Insert a new table (1x2) and add the fields from the subordinate section to the new table

Now generate...
Good luck
