Use Tab Character Per Level For List Indentation
In this tutorial, we will explore the C# source code provided for the “Use one tab character per level for list indentation” feature with Aspose.Words for .NET. This feature allows you to apply tab characters for indenting lists at each level, providing greater flexibility and control over the appearance of your documents.
Step 1: Setting up the environment
Before you begin, make sure you’ve set up your development environment with Aspose.Words for .NET. Make sure you’ve added the necessary references and imported the appropriate namespaces.
Step 2: Creating the document and the generator
// Path to your documents directory
string dataDir = "YOUR DOCUMENTS DIRECTORY";
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
In this step, we create a new Document object and an associated DocumentBuilder object. These objects will allow us to manipulate and generate our document.
Step 3: Creating a list with three levels of indentation
builder.ListFormat.ApplyNumberDefault();
builder. Writen("Element 1");
builder.ListFormat.ListIndent();
builder. Writen("Element 2");
builder.ListFormat.ListIndent();
builder.Write("Element 3");
In this step, we apply the default format of list numbers using the ApplyNumberDefault() method of the list formatter. Next, we add three items to our list using the document builder’s Writeln() and Write() methods. We use the ListIndent() method to increment the indentation at each level.
Step 4: Configure recording options
TxtSaveOptions saveOptions = new TxtSaveOptions();
saveOptions.ListIndentation.Count = 1;
saveOptions.ListIndentation.Character = '\t';
In this step, we configure the options for saving the document. We create a new TxtSaveOptions object and set the ListIndentation.Count property to 1 to specify the number of tab characters per indentation level. We also set the ListIndentation.Character property to ‘\t’ to specify that we want to use tab characters.
Step 5: Save the document
doc.Save(dataDir + "WorkingWithTxtSaveOptions.UseTabCharacterPerLevelForListIndentation.txt", saveOptions);
In this last step, we save the document with the specified save options. We use the Save() method of the document passing the full path of the output file and the saving options.
Now you can run the source code to generate a document with list indentation using tab characters. The output file will be saved in the specified directory with name “WorkingWithTxtSaveOptions.UseTabCharacterPerLevelForListIndentation.txt”.
Example code source for the Use one tab character per level for list indentation feature with Aspose.Words for .NET:
// Path to your documents directory
string dataDir = "YOUR DOCUMENTS DIRECTORY";
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
// Create a list with three levels of indentation
builder.ListFormat.ApplyNumberDefault();
builder. Writen("Element 1");
builder.ListFormat.ListIndent();
builder. Writen("Element 2");
builder.ListFormat.ListIndent();
builder.Write("Element 3");
TxtSaveOptions saveOptions = new TxtSaveOptions();
saveOptions.ListIndentation.Count = 1;
saveOptions.ListIndentation.Character = '\t';
doc.Save(dataDir + "WorkingWithTxtSaveOptions.UseTabCharacterPerLevelForListIndentation.txt", saveOptions);
Now that you have finished generating your document with list indentation using tab characters, you can use Markdown to format your article content. Be sure to use appropriate formatting tags to highlight titles, subtitles, and included source code.
