This tab displays the Text content, which is structured in sections. The Text lines correspond to a word-wrap typing mode. From this tab, you can create reference links between the Text and instances of other entities.
Using certain line types, you can specify entity calls to create reference links (super reference and subreference) between the Text and instances of other entities. You add these calls from a section or section part. An I or a B type line indicates the first line that refers to the entity instance. A J or E type line indicates the last line that refers to the entity instance. If it is not specified, all the following lines refer to the entity instance. You enter the referenced instance in the description column.
The other line types (L, K, -, or 1 to 9 for example) are migrated from Pacbase but are not effective in Rational® Programming Patterns. They are not used by the publishing or when the Text is used in a Volume.
It contains the section code and content.
The section code must be on 2 characters. It is recommended to use letters or digits only.
You enter the description content in a word-wrap typing mode. You can add or remove characters inside the existing content. You can also copy and paste lines or characters.
The instance is displayed as a link that you can double-click to open the instance editor. However, if you enter the link manually, the instance might not exist. In this case, a message box indicates that the link is not resolved.
A subreference link is then automatically created from the Text to the Data Element.
A Data Element cannot be referenced on the lines whose type is I, J, B, E, or Y.
The creation of a subreference link to a Data Element corresponds to the insertion of @DELINSTANCE, where DEL is the Data Element entity and INSTANCE is the Data Element instance. You can enter this link manually or use the content assist.
The instance is displayed as a link that you can double-click to open the instance editor. However, if you enter the link manually, the instance might not exist. In this case, a message box indicates that the link is not resolved.
