Examples

Shows how to add and remove sections in a document.

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

builder.Write("Section 1");
builder.InsertBreak(BreakType.SectionBreakNewPage);
builder.Write("Section 2");

Assert.AreEqual("Section 1\x000cSection 2", doc.GetText().Trim());

// Delete the first section from the document.
doc.Sections.RemoveAt(0);

Assert.AreEqual("Section 2", doc.GetText().Trim());

// Append a copy of what is now the first section to the end of the document.
int lastSectionIdx = doc.Sections.Count - 1;
Section newSection = doc.Sections[lastSectionIdx].Clone();
doc.Sections.Add(newSection);

Assert.AreEqual("Section 2\x000cSection 2", doc.GetText().Trim());

Shows how to specify how a new section separates itself from the previous.

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
builder.Writeln("This text is in section 1.");

// Section break types determine how a new section separates itself from the previous section.
// Below are five types of section breaks.
// 1 -  Starts the next section on a new page:
builder.InsertBreak(BreakType.SectionBreakNewPage);
builder.Writeln("This text is in section 2.");

Assert.AreEqual(SectionStart.NewPage, doc.Sections[1].PageSetup.SectionStart);

// 2 -  Starts the next section on the current page:
builder.InsertBreak(BreakType.SectionBreakContinuous);
builder.Writeln("This text is in section 3.");

Assert.AreEqual(SectionStart.Continuous, doc.Sections[2].PageSetup.SectionStart);

// 3 -  Starts the next section on a new even page:
builder.InsertBreak(BreakType.SectionBreakEvenPage);
builder.Writeln("This text is in section 4.");

Assert.AreEqual(SectionStart.EvenPage, doc.Sections[3].PageSetup.SectionStart);

// 4 -  Starts the next section on a new odd page:
builder.InsertBreak(BreakType.SectionBreakOddPage);
builder.Writeln("This text is in section 5.");

Assert.AreEqual(SectionStart.OddPage, doc.Sections[4].PageSetup.SectionStart);

// 5 -  Starts the next section on a new column:
TextColumnCollection columns = builder.PageSetup.TextColumns;
columns.SetCount(2);

builder.InsertBreak(BreakType.SectionBreakNewColumn);
builder.Writeln("This text is in section 6.");

Assert.AreEqual(SectionStart.NewColumn, doc.Sections[5].PageSetup.SectionStart);

doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "PageSetup.SetSectionStart.docx");
