Error description
In IBM Rational Software Architect, after selecting Refactor ? Convert Documentation to plain text, the path to the image file, 'img src=file...' is removed. Steps to reproduce: 1. Make sure that Window ? Preferences ? Modeling ? Miscellaneous ? Rich text ? 'Display rich text in diagrams and documentation' is checked and that 'Display the text conversion item in the Refactor menu' also is checked 2. Make sure that the 'View Menu' (the downward pointing arrowhead on the right-hand side of the Project Explorer) ? Customize View... ? Filters UML Interaction Contents check box is not checked 3. Create a UML project and model 4. Add a sequence diagram to the model 5. Draw two lifelines on the sequence diagram and connect them with a message 6. Add documentation to the message and include both text and an image in the rich text editor Result: A '??documentation??' element appears in the Project Explorer under the message and both the text and image are visible in the Documentation tab, as expected 7. Save the changes 8. Return to Window ? Preferences ? Modeling ? Miscellaneous ? Rich text ? 'Display rich text in diagrams and documentation', clear the check box and click Apply/OK 9. Close the 'Properties' view and the go to Window ? Show View ? Properties to reopen the 'Properties' view Result: The 'Documentation' tab will no longer have the rich text options and the documentation, including a path to the image file, 'img src=file...', from Step 6 will appear within the HTML tags. 10. Right click on the model in the Project Explorer and select Refactor ? Convert documentation to Plain Text ---?Expected Result: Both the text and the 'img src=file...' appear in the Documentation text editor without the HTML tags ---?Actual Result: Only the text appears without the HTML tags. The path to the image, 'img src=file...', is gone. The workaround is to retype the 'img src=[path to the image file]' into the plain text editor.
