PM53662: Issues while exporting RQM RTF sections

Rational Publishing Engine 1.1.2.2

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• 1. Blank space in front of text after a line-feed:
  In the RTF section of Test Objectives of a Test Plan, add two
  line-feeds one after another after a sentence and added some
  text after the last line-feed. In the RQM source code it looked
  like this:
  --------------------------
  
  Test sentence?br/?
      ?br/?
      sentence after two line feeds from the last sentence?/p?
  ----------------------------
  If we look in the RPE generated output you can see a space (.)
  added before the sentence after the last line-feed. This is not
  there in the RQM source code but only in the RPE generate
  document. You can even reproduce this with a line-feed and a
  sentence after this.
  
  
  2. Font size in RQM richtext editor:
  If we set a font size of anything other than ?12x? in RQM RTF
  sections, then RQM will pass on this information to RPE as (
  source code) :
  -------------------------------------------
  ?p?
      ?span style='font-size: 20px;'?some text with font size
  20?/span??/p?
  
  ----------------------------------------------------
  Here irrespective of what we have set for the font size for text
  element in RPE or for the stylesheet, RPE will obey the font
  size set for the text in RQM and retain the same in Word output.
  
  Is this the correct behavior? According to my understanding if
  we specify any font settings in RPE (eg: text element), then RPE
  should enforce this settings in the output document rather than
  retaining the font information set in the source product. Please
  clarify.
  
  3. Font size of the numbered list.
  
  In RQM Rich text editor, we cannot set the font size for numbers
  in the numbered list. The font size set for the numbers will
  always be ?12x? and you can only increase the text font size in
  the numbered list. Since RPE retains the same font size set in
  RQM in the Word output and does not obey the font settings in
  RPE template, user now does not have any option to change the
  font of the numbers in the numbered list in the RPE generated
  output.
