Title: RTF output - line feeds in structured scenario
Post by: cat on September 01, 2010, 01:59:13 am

Greetings,

I searched for the answer but didn't find - how to insert a line feed/new line/carriage return into the output of the structured scenario steps of the rtf document?

Thank you for any help!

Hi Cat,

I'm not clear on what you're trying to achieve, but can recommend the white paper "Working with the RTF generator"...

http://www.sparxsystems.com/downloads/whitepapers/Working_with_the_RTF_generator.pdf

However, in my Use Cases, I've put the structured steps in a table, so that each step appears as a new row in the table. If you want extra lines of space to appear, adding a hard return in the template will assist.

The placement of the tags is important however, as any white space can create extra lines, or in the worst case, a separate table for each row...

Hopefully that will help.

Andy.

Thank you for your reply. Can you give me an example of how you did the table in the template?

Sorry Cat, I've wasted quite a bit of time trying to get the forum to display this properly as a table, but the interface has defeated me.
