Inconsistency in traceability report #401
Description
Description
The traceability report is inconsistent while using MD heading style vs RST heading style. The inconsistency is seen only with the first item
Steps to Reproduce
Consider the following tmp.rst
This is the main heading
========================
The following are the requirements related to domain creation.
Item 1 heading
##############
`XenSSR~item1~1`
Description:
Item 1 descrip.
Rationale:
Item 1 rationale.
Item 2 heading
##############
`XenSSR~item2~1`
Description:
Item 2 descrip.
Rationale:
Item 2 rationale.
Item 3 heading
##############
`XenSSR~item3~1`
Description:
Item 3 descrip.
Rationale:
Item 3 rationale.
The traceability report looks like. This is correct and what we expect.
However, when we use RST heading styles ie (the below file)
This is the main heading
========================
The following are the requirements related to domain creation.
Item 1 heading
--------------
`XenSSR~item1~1`
Description:
Item 1 descrip.
Rationale:
Item 1 rationale.
Item 2 heading
--------------
`XenSSR~item2~1`
Description:
Item 2 descrip.
Rationale:
Item 2 rationale.
Item 3 heading
--------------
`XenSSR~item3~1`
Description:
Item 3 descrip.
Rationale:
Item 3 rationale.
The traceability report looks like this
Expected behavior
The issue is that for the first item, it renders the heading. We don't want this. Instead we expect that it should render the tags as seen for item2 and item3.
In other words with RST header style, the rendering should be similar to the markdown header style.
Environment
- OFT: This is the latest master.

#401: Added regression test.
redcatbear commentedon Oct 9, 2026
Hi @ayankuma, I was not able to reproduce the issue with the current version (4.11.0, unreleased) of OFT. Looks like the bug is fixed. But I added a regression test in #628. Could you please take a look if that test correctly reproduces your scenario?
