Examples
Shows how to create right-to-left language-compatible lists with BIDIOUTLINE fields.
doc = aw.Document()
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc=doc)
# The BIDIOUTLINE field numbers paragraphs like the AUTONUM/LISTNUM fields,
# but is only visible when a right-to-left editing language is enabled, such as Hebrew or Arabic.
# The following field will display ".1", the RTL equivalent of list number "1.".
field = builder.insert_field(field_type=aw.fields.FieldType.FIELD_BIDI_OUTLINE, update_field=True).as_field_bidi_outline()
builder.writeln('שלום')
self.assertEqual(' BIDIOUTLINE ', field.get_field_code())
# Add two more BIDIOUTLINE fields, which will display ".2" and ".3".
builder.insert_field(field_type=aw.fields.FieldType.FIELD_BIDI_OUTLINE, update_field=True)
builder.writeln('שלום')
builder.insert_field(field_type=aw.fields.FieldType.FIELD_BIDI_OUTLINE, update_field=True)
builder.writeln('שלום')
# Set the horizontal text alignment for every paragraph in the document to RTL.
for para in doc.get_child_nodes(aw.NodeType.PARAGRAPH, True):
para = para.as_paragraph()
para.paragraph_format.bidi = True
# If we enable a right-to-left editing language in Microsoft Word, our fields will display numbers.
# Otherwise, they will display "###".
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'Field.BIDIOUTLINE.docx')
