for a specialized purpose. DocumentIt output in this case is an ASCII
text file, which you can use with almost any text editor. You can edit
the file or print it as a simple unformatted ASCII file.
Typically, the template file contains DocumentIt parameters and
publishing commands such as rich text format (RTF) or FrameMaker
markup language (MML), which DocumentIt writes directly to the
output file.
3. Generate the design document.
Invoke DocumentIt from inside SystemBuild, from the Xmath
Commands window, or from the operating system prompt. Docum entIt
loads discrete-time and continuous-time SuperBlocks, reading the
associated data to generate the design documentation in accordance
with the template instructions.
4. Process documents with markup commands.
Import DocumentIt document files with FrameMaker, Interleaf, or
RTF markup commands into FrameMaker, Interleaf, or Microsoft
Word, respectively. These applications automatically recognize the
document formats.
Note RTF can be read by most word processing and desktop publishing programs, but it
is the native format in Word.
5. Print the formatted document.
Save the model design document in RTF, FrameMaker (MML), or
ASCII format, and send it to a printer in any printer output form such
as PostScript or portable document format (PDF).
