Detailed Description

Represents a paragraph of text.

Paragraph is a block-level node and can be a child of classes derived from Story or InlineStory.

Paragraph can contain any number of inline-level nodes and bookmarks.

The complete list of child nodes that can occur inside a paragraph consists of BookmarkStart, BookmarkEnd, FieldStart, FieldSeparator, FieldEnd, FormField, Comment, Footnote, Run, SpecialChar, Shape, GroupShape, SmartTag.

A valid paragraph in Microsoft Word always ends with a paragraph break character and a minimal valid paragraph consists just of a paragraph break. The Paragraph class automatically appends the appropriate paragraph break character at the end and this character is not part of the child nodes of the Paragraph, therefore a Paragraph can be empty.

Do not include the end of paragraph ControlChar.ParagraphBreak or end of cell ControlChar.Cell characters inside the text of the paragraph as it might make the paragraph invalid when the document is opened in Microsoft Word.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Paragraph()

Aspose::Words::Paragraph::Paragraph ( const System::SharedPtr< Aspose::Words::DocumentBase > & doc )

Initializes a new instance of the Paragraph class.

When Paragraph is created, it belongs to the specified document, but is not yet part of the document and ParentNode is null.

To append Paragraph to the document use InsertAfter or InsertBefore on the story where you want the paragraph inserted.

Parameters

doc	The owner document.

Examples

auto doc = MakeObject<Document>();
 
// A blank document contains one section, one body and one paragraph.
// Call the "RemoveAllChildren" method to remove all those nodes,
// and end up with a document node with no children.
doc->RemoveAllChildren();
 
// This document now has no composite child nodes that we can add content to.
// If we wish to edit it, we will need to repopulate its node collection.
// First, create a new section, and then append it as a child to the root document node.

// Set some page setup properties for the section.
section->get_PageSetup()->set_SectionStart(SectionStart::NewPage);

// A section needs a body, which will contain and display all its contents
// on the page between the section's header and footer.

Member Function Documentation

◆ Accept()

bool Aspose::Words::Paragraph::Accept ( System::SharedPtr< Aspose::Words::DocumentVisitor > visitor )

overridevirtual

Accepts a visitor.

Enumerates over this node and all of its children. Each node calls a corresponding method on DocumentVisitor.

For more info see the Visitor design pattern.

Parameters

visitor The visitor that will visit the nodes.

Returns: True if all nodes were visited; false if DocumentVisitor stopped the operation before visiting all nodes.

auto doc = MakeObject<Document>(MyDir + u"Revision runs.docx");
 
// When we edit the document while the "Track Changes" option, found in via Review -> Tracking,
// is turned on in Microsoft Word, the changes we apply count as revisions.
// When editing a document using Aspose.Words, we can begin tracking revisions by
// invoking the document's "StartTrackRevisions" method and stop tracking by using the "StopTrackRevisions" method.
// We can either accept revisions to assimilate them into the document
// or reject them to change the proposed change effectively.
ASSERT_EQ(6, doc->get_Revisions()->get_Count());
 
// The parent node of a revision is the run that the revision concerns. A Run is an Inline node.
auto run = System::DynamicCast<Run>(doc->get_Revisions()->idx_get(0)->get_ParentNode());
 
SharedPtr<Paragraph> firstParagraph = run->get_ParentParagraph();
SharedPtr<RunCollection> runs = firstParagraph->get_Runs();
 
ASSERT_EQ(6, runs->ToArray()->get_Length());
 
// Below are five types of revisions that can flag an Inline node.
// 1 -  An "insert" revision:
// This revision occurs when we insert text while tracking changes.
ASSERT_TRUE(runs->idx_get(2)->get_IsInsertRevision());
 
// 2 -  A "format" revision:
// This revision occurs when we change the formatting of text while tracking changes.
ASSERT_TRUE(runs->idx_get(2)->get_IsFormatRevision());
 
// 3 -  A "move from" revision:
// When we highlight text in Microsoft Word, and then drag it to a different place in the document
// while tracking changes, two revisions appear.
// The "move from" revision is a copy of the text originally before we moved it.
ASSERT_TRUE(runs->idx_get(4)->get_IsMoveFromRevision());
 
// 4 -  A "move to" revision:
// The "move to" revision is the text that we moved in its new position in the document.
// "Move from" and "move to" revisions appear in pairs for every move revision we carry out.
// Accepting a move revision deletes the "move from" revision and its text,
// and keeps the text from the "move to" revision.
// Rejecting a move revision conversely keeps the "move from" revision and deletes the "move to" revision.
ASSERT_TRUE(runs->idx_get(1)->get_IsMoveToRevision());
 
// 5 -  A "delete" revision:
// This revision occurs when we delete text while tracking changes. When we delete text like this,
// it will stay in the document as a revision until we either accept the revision,
// which will delete the text for good, or reject the revision, which will keep the text we deleted where it was.
ASSERT_TRUE(runs->idx_get(5)->get_IsDeleteRevision());

◆ GetEffectiveTabStops()

System::ArrayPtr< System::SharedPtr< Aspose::Words::TabStop > > Aspose::Words::Paragraph::GetEffectiveTabStops ( )

Shows how to set custom tab stops for a paragraph.

auto doc = MakeObject<Document>();
SharedPtr<Paragraph> para = doc->get_FirstSection()->get_Body()->get_FirstParagraph();
 
// If we are in a paragraph with no tab stops in this collection,
// the cursor will jump 36 points each time we press the Tab key in Microsoft Word.
ASSERT_EQ(0, doc->get_FirstSection()->get_Body()->get_FirstParagraph()->GetEffectiveTabStops()->get_Length());
 
// We can add custom tab stops in Microsoft Word if we enable the ruler via the "View" tab.
// Each unit on this ruler is two default tab stops, which is 72 points.
// We can add custom tab stops programmatically like this.
SharedPtr<TabStopCollection> tabStops = doc->get_FirstSection()->get_Body()->get_FirstParagraph()->get_ParagraphFormat()->get_TabStops();
tabStops->Add(72, TabAlignment::Left, TabLeader::Dots);
tabStops->Add(216, TabAlignment::Center, TabLeader::Dashes);
tabStops->Add(360, TabAlignment::Right, TabLeader::Line);
 
// We can see these tab stops in Microsoft Word by enabling the ruler via "View" -> "Show" -> "Ruler".
ASSERT_EQ(3, para->GetEffectiveTabStops()->get_Length());
 
// Any tab characters we add will make use of the tab stops on the ruler and may,
// depending on the tab leader's value, leave a line between the tab departure and arrival destinations.
para->AppendChild(MakeObject<Run>(doc, u"\tTab 1\tTab 2\tTab 3"));
 
doc->Save(ArtifactsDir + u"Paragraph.TabStops.docx");

◆ GetText()

System::String Aspose::Words::Paragraph::GetText ( )

overridevirtual

Gets the text of this paragraph including the end of paragraph character.

The text of all child nodes is concatenated and the end of paragraph character is appended as follows:

If the paragraph is the last paragraph of Body, then ControlChar.SectionBreak (\x000c) is appended.
If the paragraph is the last paragraph of Cell, then ControlChar.Cell (\x0007) is appended.
For all other paragraphs ControlChar.ParagraphBreak (\r) is appended.

The returned string includes all control and special characters as described in ControlChar.

Examples

Shows how to add, update and delete child nodes in a CompositeNode's collection of children.

auto doc = MakeObject<Document>();
 
// An empty document, by default, has one paragraph.
ASSERT_EQ(1, doc->get_FirstSection()->get_Body()->get_Paragraphs()->get_Count());
 
// Composite nodes such as our paragraph can contain other composite and inline nodes as children.

auto run3 = MakeObject<Run>(doc, u"Run 3. ");
 
// The document body will not display these runs until we insert them into a composite node
// that itself is a part of the document's node tree, as we did with the first run.
// We can determine where the text contents of nodes that we insert
// appears in the document by specifying an insertion location relative to another node in the paragraph.
ASSERT_EQ(u"Initial text.", paragraph->GetText().Trim());
 
// Insert the second run into the paragraph in front of the initial run.
paragraph->InsertBefore(run2, paragraphText);

ASSERT_EQ(4, paragraph->GetChildNodes(NodeType::Any, true)->get_Count());
 
// We can modify the contents of the run by editing and deleting existing child nodes.
(System::DynamicCast<Run>(paragraph->GetChildNodes(NodeType::Run, true)->idx_get(1)))->set_Text(u"Updated run 2. ");
