Ordered List

In this example, we will explain how to use the ordered list functionality with Aspose.Words for .NET. Ordered List allow you to organize items sequentially with numbers.

Step 1: Using a document generator

First, we’ll use a document generator to create a new document.

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

Step 2: Applying the ordered list format

We will apply the ordered list format using the document builder’s ApplyBulletDefault method. We can also customize the numbering format by going to the list levels and setting the format we want.

builder.ListFormat.ApplyBulletDefault();
builder.ListFormat.List.ListLevels[0].NumberFormat = $"{(char) 0}.";
builder.ListFormat.List.ListLevels[1].NumberFormat = $"{(char) 1}.";

Step 3: Adding items to the list

We can add items to the list using the document generator’s Writeln method.

builder. Writen("Element 1");
builder. Writen("Element 2");

Step 4: Indent the list

We can indent the list using the document generator’s ListIndent method.

builder.ListFormat.ListIndent();
builder.Writeln("Item 2a");
builder.Writeln("Item 2b");

Step 5: Saving the document

Finally, we can save the document in the desired format.

Example source code for ordered list with Aspose.Words for .NET

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

builder.ListFormat.ApplyBulletDefault();
builder.ListFormat.List.ListLevels[0].NumberFormat = $"{(char) 0}.";
builder.ListFormat.List.ListLevels[1].NumberFormat = $"{(char) 1}.";

builder.Writeln("Item 1");
builder.Writeln("Item 2");

builder.ListFormat.ListIndent();

builder.Writeln("Item 2a");
builder.Writeln("Item 2b");

Congratulation ! You have now learned how to use the ordered list feature with Aspose.Words for .NET.
