Gen.RTF looses indent in EA 8 (it worked in EA 7)

[HansAdmiraal]

We just migrated from EA 7 to EA 8 (8.0.861). Now, the generated RTF documents are not formatted correctly anymore.

In the template, I have included {Att.Notes} on a single line, indented. The indents are lost at some random spots. I can't find any pattern in where the indents are kept and where they are lost.

Example piece of RTF generated by EA 7:

   MyClass
        MyAttribute
            Type: string
            This is the contents of the note of MyAttribute

Example piece of RTF generated by EA 8:

   MyClass
        MyAttribute
            Type: string
This is the contents of the note of MyAttribute

You see, the note is left-aligned instead of indented.
Sometimes, only a part of the note looses the indent.
I tried several options like "Use style defined in template for notes" and "Optimize for Open Office", but none worked.

Is there a solution (workaround) available?

If you had indentation in V7 I'm impressed,
it didn't come out of the box.

Personally I think that indentation should be added to the formatting capability of notes (OK then, I think notes should be mini ODF documents).

Is it possible that in V7 you used tabs to achieve indentation,
and in V8 tabs do not display the same way?

The only other way I have been able to achieve indentation in notes is (yuck) to use leading spaces.

And while we are on the subject I'd like to see nested bullets and numbering too ...

Personally I think that indentation should be added to the formatting capability of notes.

Maybe there's a misunderstanding here: I didn't put the indentation inside the note (that's not possible), but only in the template.

Both the notes and the template were not changed after migrating from EA 7 to EA 8.

Ah, my misreading.
All I can suggest is to open the template and save it, and open the note and save it
(make a trivial change, eg add and delete a character)

I've tried it, but it still does not work.

I've had similar problems with RTF templates. Found by recreating the template in EA V8.0 from scratch it rectified most of the problems. Not an ideal solution I know

I have found a workaround for it. Instead of using indents, I now use a table. The first column is empty and the text is in the second column, so it looks as if the text is indented.  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
