Examples

Shows how to create smart tags.

    // such as a name, date, or address, and converts it to a hyperlink that displays a purple dotted underline.
    SmartTag smartTag = new SmartTag(doc);

    // Smart tags are composite nodes that contain their recognized text in its entirety.
    // Add contents to this smart tag manually.
    smartTag.AppendChild(new Run(doc, "May 29, 2019"));

    // Microsoft Word may recognize the above contents as being a date.
    // Smart tags use the "Element" property to reflect the type of data they contain.
    smartTag.Element = "date";

    // Some smart tag types process their contents further into custom XML properties.
