AllowNegativeIndent

HtmlSaveOptions.AllowNegativeIndent property

Specifies whether negative left and right indents of paragraphs are normalized when saving to HTML, MHTML or EPUB. Default value is false.

public bool AllowNegativeIndent { get; set; }

Remarks

When negative indent is not allowed, it is exported as zero margin to HTML. When negative indent is allowed, a paragraph might appear partially outside of the browser window.

Examples

Shows how to preserve negative indents in the output .html.

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

// Insert a table with a negative indent, which will push it to the left past the left page boundary.
Table table = builder.StartTable();
builder.InsertCell();
builder.Write("Row 1, Cell 1");
builder.InsertCell();
builder.Write("Row 1, Cell 2");
builder.EndTable();
table.LeftIndent = -36;
table.PreferredWidth = PreferredWidth.FromPoints(144);

builder.InsertBreak(BreakType.ParagraphBreak);

// Insert a table with a positive indent, which will push the table to the right.
table = builder.StartTable();
builder.InsertCell();
builder.Write("Row 1, Cell 1");
builder.InsertCell();
builder.Write("Row 1, Cell 2");
builder.EndTable();
table.LeftIndent = 36;
table.PreferredWidth = PreferredWidth.FromPoints(144);

// When we save a document to HTML, Aspose.Words will only preserve negative indents
// such as the one we have applied to the first table if we set the "AllowNegativeIndent" flag
// in a SaveOptions object that we will pass to "true".
HtmlSaveOptions options = new HtmlSaveOptions(SaveFormat.Html)
{
    AllowNegativeIndent = allowNegativeIndent,
    TableWidthOutputMode = HtmlElementSizeOutputMode.RelativeOnly
};

doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "HtmlSaveOptions.NegativeIndent.html", options);

string outDocContents = File.ReadAllText(ArtifactsDir + "HtmlSaveOptions.NegativeIndent.html");
