Compact Document option
When generating eaDocX documents, a common problem is that the document contains lots of empty sections. This is where you have told the generator to print something, and that ‘something’ isn’t in your model. So eaDocX is working correctly, but the resulting document can look ‘wrong’: it may have lots of places where it says ‘None’, becasue there is not data to print.
If you enable ‘Compact Document’ for your document, in the Document Settings, then eaDocX will try to find all the places where ‘None’ appears, and not print anything.
For example, without Compact Document, your document might look like:
| Component name: Comp1
Alias: CMP001 Related widgets: None Related Gadgets: None |
With Compact Document enabled, the same document fragment will look like:
| Component name: Comp1
Alias: CMP001 |
Not a big change, but when applied across a whole document, choosing ‘Compact Document’ can make the document look much more ‘natural’, and less ‘generated’.
