View and modify requirements in the Requirement Editor view. Edit
the name, description, attributes, and traceability for the requirement. Add
optional HTML tags or use the rich-text editor to format the description.
About this task
You can add HTML tags manually on the Description page or edit
the formatted text using the rich-text editor on the Preview page. When you
modify the description on the Preview page, the rich-text editor embeds the
HTML tags.
Note: If HTML tags are added to the description, the formatted
text is only displayed in the Preview page and in the Requirement Text view.
The HTML tags are visible on the Description page, in Attribute Matrix views,
and in the Requirement Properties window in Rational RequisitePro. In those
contexts, the tags detract from readability. Do not use HTML tags to format
the description of requirements that are located in Microsoft Word documents,
because the tags might corrupt the Word rendering of the requirement text.
