Linked document also in generated HTML docs
« on: January 30, 2006, 01:52:24 am »
Hi,

I know this is a difficult request, but it would be nice if the contents of the "linked document" (right-click an element, select "Linked Document" in the context menu) is also exported to the HTML documentation (as it is by the RTF Generator).

Of course, including the images contained in these linked documents...

Any chance to see this feature in EA at some time? It would be very nice for us becasue we use these "linked documents" e.g. for attaching a screenshot of a screen design to a requirement.

Best regards,
Markus

This ability was recently added to the HTML generator.

Create a custom Web Style Template in the Resource View window, then modify the "Object Details" template and add the following lines into the main table within this template.

Code: [Select]
<tr>
<td class="ObjectDetailsTopic">Linked Document:</td>
<td class="ObjectDetailsValue">#LINKDOC#</td>
</tr>

No doubt soon, running the reverse engineering feature on EA itself will produce a set of up-to-the-minute documentation ;-)

What, no user sign-off? We'll have to submit the bug report right away.
No, you can't have it!

I did so some time ago and received the automation model. Sparx provided us with an XMI directly which is available on EA Usergroup. Yeah - no documentation, but at least methods an attributes for a good guess ;)
