Title: RTF Documents- creating headings
Post by: Kiwilee on July 20, 2004, 02:28:49 am
Hi Guys
Does any one know if it is possible to create Headings for the Requirements/ Constraints/ Senarios tabs in RTF reports.  The same goes for the individual Requirements/ Constraints/ Senarios themselves (-1 header from the tabs)

This would make it a lot easier to customise documents and arrange the order of these elements (using the outline view in MS word). It would also make the individual elements stand out a bit more as they currently seem to visually merge into one big section.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated as it is a bit of nightmare to maintain a working document

kind regards

Kiwilee

Hi there,

Has anyone made any progress with this issue? I could do with the same functionality myself!

I noticed that when I put HTML markup in the Notes text of an element, then this does NOT get escaped in the HTML documentation, which is handy because users *can* put markup in the notes. However, I think that this is probably more of a bug than a feature, since I would want characters to be escaped usually. Also, I really need to be able to do this for RTF docs. I tried putting raw RTF commands in to the text, and it didn't work  :)

Ideally, it would be great if Sparx provided in-built  formatting functionality for these free text areas, which would allow  bold, italics, headings etc. This is no trivial thing though, since they would also need to interpret these commands for both HTML and RTF output.

Any pointers much appreciated.

Tobin

There have been discussion about that topic in the past. The only solution for the moment is to add meta-tags in the text and let a post-processor do the work.

However, it would be nice to have a formatting feature. :)

 ;)  Here, here on the formating feature especially for the Unicode version where formality in the generated documents are very important.
