Creating a table in the Note field

[dawesc]

I'm trying to create a table in the note field; basically i want to describe the types of the fields that are to be shown on a web page so:

----------------------------------------------
| Field Name | Type     | Values        |
----------------------------------------------
| Name         | TxtBox  | ^.{0,50}$  |
| Salutation  | Combo  | Mr, Mrs, Ms |

etc.

now ascii art is all very well but as soon as this goes into the auto documentation generation it goes to hell; is there any kind of simple markup i can apply to get a table out?

Any help would be much appreciated

Nothing without using an add-in or some other form of programmatic intervention, I'm afraid.

The limitations of note elements are a persistent source of frustration. Perhaps Sparx will address this - in some fashion - soon, but I don't think we have confirmation at this point.

Ok - thanks a lot

Probably not the answer you want to hear, but TeX is a wonderful markup language.

lol - very true; my last company did loads in it but unfortunately current one aint liking it (everythings ASP .NET 2.0   )

I may be on my own here, but I would suggest that Sparx introduces a additional type of Note (FormattedNote?) - or maybe add boolean attribute 'hasFormatting' togther with a Formatted() and NonFormatted() accessors ?

This requirement has gone round a number of times now !

Any better ideas?

Mike, I guess we're on the looser side with this request. Since I found my old faithful TeX again I'm not so unhappy any longer
