XHTML for comments
« on: July 18, 2007, 02:43:52 am »
Dear All,

We need to have the XMI produced to do completely XML compliant/processible.

As such we need to make sure the comments/notes etc where rich text is allowed (e.g. by pasting in from Word) to be able to accept XHTML.

What we'd really like is to have a rich XHTML wysiwyg editor (such as tiny_mce) available such that instead of writing something in word & then pasting in, the users get a nice word like UI complete with bold, underline, bullets etc.

A) Does anyone know of such a thing

B) Has anyone got any suggestions?

TIA

Adam

To clarify we are using the Document Artifact component and then importing rtf files, generated from Microsoft Word to load analysis narrative documentation into EA projects.

This is exported in the XMI as a Tagged Value called modeldocument as a base64-encoded binary string.

We would like to have something intelligible like XHTML rather than RTF in the XMI file so that we can process it with the rest of the file and would also like a less cumbersome process to get documents into Sparx in the first place.

Has anyone implemented an add-in to incorporate an XML-based editor in EA, which saves its content within the EAP file (our business architects want everything in one file - hence the desire to embed the narrative documentation) and would be exported in an XMI export (e.g. as a tagged value)?

Thanks for your help, regards,

Tim
