Providing Supplementary
Information
When the report generator generates a report, only data
that is present in the selected resource file sets is included
in the report. You can add additional documentation to
help describe complex resources such as functional
profiles. This additional documentation is called usage
hints. The report generator includes a Usage Hint Editor
that allows you to easily create and edit XHTML-based
usage hints.
Each resource report generated by the report generator
includes a usage.xml file. This file stores usage hint
information and can provide supplementary information
for any resource (an NVT, CPT, enumeration type, or
functional profile) or a component of a resource such as a
field within a structure or a member within a functional
profile. You can include an unlimited number of usage
hints within a usage.xml file. Each usage hint identifies
the resource, or part of a resource, through its hint ID.
