Documentation in the MDG itself

[Paolo F Cantoni]

In the past, with our "hand-crafted" MDG, we placed comments in the MDG to explain things.

With the Model-based MDG generation, is it possible to pass such narrative through to the generated MDG?

TIA,
Paolo

I don't think so, but you can document your MDG model instead.
Isn't that much better?

Yes, Geert, I fully intend to do that!

I was hoping there would be a mechanism to get some of that into the MDG.  If you're trying to track down a "silent fail", it might be useful to have some narrative to help.

If there was, I can keep documenting the current MDG and then transfer the commentary to the model at the appropriate time.

I'll pop in a feature request at some time.

I have managed to generate MDGs via script without (almost) all those silly file exports. Only profiles need to be saved and here I got a maker in the notes which ensures I get the right file. So for any change I just call my script and it creates the MDG sanely. Take that.

In one of the more recent versions they added API support for exporting UML profiles as well.
This should enable you to automate the whole process without any manual steps.

PS. Not sure how this helps with documentation in the MDG though
