Title: Documentation Generation Advice
Post by: Chris S on January 15, 2015, 04:08:54 am

Hi Folks,

I've been developing a sysml model within EA and am looking into how to export to a 'text' format. I have spent some time exploring RTF templates but can not implement what I need. Anyone know where I can find some more / real world examples, and / or how to implement the following pseudo code within a template fragment:

For all <<requirement>>
 if <<requirement>> contains <<requirements diagram>>
    Display requirement info
    Display requirements diagram
    Display info of child requirements
  end
end

Chris,

If you want my advice then that would be: "Don't use the RTF document generator"

Better alternatives are
- Use eaDocX (http://www.eadocx.com/)
- Write your own document generator from scratch. (that is not as hard as it seems)
