The following attributes seem to have been created in my modules, and they seem to contain Rich Text gobbly-gook.
o Font Table o RTF Author o RTF DocFormat o RTF Header o RTF Info o RTF <couple others> o Style Sheet o Color Table What are they really for? Can I safely delete them? - Louie |

Louie,
The header for the standard DOORS rtf importer <standard/import/rtifm.dxl> says: "The import tool applies the documents subject to the Modules Description attribute." "The import tool applies the documents author to the Modules Author is attribute." "The import tool applies the documents operator to the Modules Operator is attribute." "The import tool applies the documents title to the Modules Original Title attribute." ... "The import tool also stores the style sheet and font table for the rtf document in a module attribute in the DOOR module. Paragraph styles are also stored as attributes of the seperate paragraphs. All non-paragraph information ie. style-runs within a paragraph, are lost. The RTF Exporter will optionally use this information to generate an RTF file similar to that originally imported." So, the only reason you might want them is to take advantage of the features of the corresponding RTF Exporter. If RTF export is not a concern, they can be deleted. But...... I looked at the code for <standard/import/rtifm.dxl> and it doesn't refer to the attributes! (at least not in DOORS 5 and 6) So, even though the documentation talks about populating them, it is not yet clear where they are created. The only place I see them referred to is <utils/doctools/rtfattr.inc> which is used by the RTF exporter and not the RTF importer. So, unless I'm missing something, I don't see how the RTF importer is creating them. Then.... I found the following comment: 465 // All these attribute only exist with v4 parser in the DOORS 6 version of <standard/export/rtfexp.dxl> So... I looked at DOORS 4, and the attributes are created by <example/doctools/rtfdoors.inc> which is called by <example/doctools/rtfparse.dxl> So, in conclusion, I am led to believe that the DOORS v4 RTF parser created them. ------------------------- Michael Sutherland michael@galactic-solutions.com http://galactic-solutions.com |

I have run into these attributes just recently and wondered if there was any more information regarding this topic.
From what I read above, it would be safe to say that deleting these attributes would be harmless to actual data. Is that correct? Is there any DOORS Documentation on the creation of these attributes? -Craig me@craigforant.com ------------------------- Craig Forant me@craigforant.com Edited: 30-Apr-2007 at 19:55 by Craig Forant |
