[Feature Request] Allow RTF or HTML of elemet Main Documentation, Notes and even all all text
Feature Request: Allow RTF or HTML of elemet Main Documentation, Notes and even all all text
If we are talking about formatted text, XHTML is the natural choice. Or a popular markup language.
What would be easier? RTF or XHTML?
I'm familiar with XHTML but I assume it is like HTML.
Thanks, Theuns

.. I do not belong to the Archi-Team, I am a user just like you und wanted to add my view.
In any web-environment RTF is not a very good choice. Archi is not the web, but the results are likely to be published in the web. So, formatted text should use a markup-language of the web, so XHTML or a markup language used by popular WIKIs. As a user, that's what I would appreciate most.
Having a markup language should be great. Sometime, in documentation, we need to have bold text or underline, same on notes
SpecIF (https://specif.de and https://github.com/GfSE/SpecIF) is an initiative to integrate models of different notations (BPMN, ArchiMate, ReqIF and others) and tools. If you like, have a look at an Introduction (for Archi, see p.11) or try the editor https://specif.de/apps/edit.html.
We are supporting markdown and XHTML. Most tools including Archi export descriptions using markdown in the OpenExchange format. Upon publication, markdown is transformed to XHTML (browser, ePub) or WORDML. Works nicely.
An example: Telephone-Connection-Request. Here, text in Excel has been formatted using markdown, which is transformed to XHTML when rendering in the browser. The same works with Archi, Camunda Modeler and other tools.
