DOORS 9.7.2.7 ("9.7.2 Fixpack 7") and later: multi-value attributes (enumerations)-line breaks between values are output to Document Generation/ELO PUB in DRML "p[aragraph]-tags", custom ELO PUB (*.dta) templates require adjustment!

Troubleshooting


Problem

You are using a custom RPE/ELO-PUB template (*.dta) to process data arriving from DOORS 9 during export via Document Generation or ELO PUB.
Your template is scanning for line breaks and replaces them with other characters (for example commas), to bring all values into a specific format/shape.
Your template works with DOORS 9 output < 9.7.2.7 .
The default templates shipped with DOORS 9 (book.dta, table.dta) work correctly.

Symptom

Where previously, a multi-value attribute (enumeration) could be shaped to list each value instead of separation by line break, through separation by custom characters (for example comma), this custom template logic no longer works.
Before (<9.7.2.7): 
DOORS9: 
value 1
value 2
value 3
ELO PUB / Document Generation output with custom template logic:
value 1, value 2, value 3
Now (>= 9.7.2.7):
DOORS 9:
value 1
value 2
value 3
ELO PUB / Document Generation output with customer template logic:
value 1value 2value 3
