is_multi_level property

List.is_multi_level property

Returns True when the list contains 9 levels; False when 1 level.

@property
def is_multi_level(self) -> bool:
    ...

Remarks

The lists that you create with Aspose.Words are always multi-level lists and contain 9 levels.

Microsoft Word 2003 and later always create multi-level lists with 9 levels. But in some documents, created with earlier versions of Microsoft Word you might encounter lists that have 1 level only.

Examples

Shows how to create a list style and use it in a document.

doc = aw.Document()
# A list allows us to organize and decorate sets of paragraphs with prefix symbols and indents.
# We can create nested lists by increasing the indent level.
# We can begin and end a list by using a document builder's "ListFormat" property.
# Each paragraph that we add between a list's start and the end will become an item in the list.
# We can contain an entire List object within a style.
list_style = doc.styles.add(aw.StyleType.LIST, 'MyListStyle')
list1 = list_style.list
self.assertTrue(list1.is_list_style_definition)
self.assertFalse(list1.is_list_style_reference)
self.assertTrue(list1.is_multi_level)
self.assertEqual(list_style, list1.style)
# Change the appearance of all list levels in our list.
for level in list1.list_levels:
    level.font.name = 'Verdana'
    level.font.color = aspose.pydrawing.Color.blue
    level.font.bold = True
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc=doc)
builder.writeln('Using list style first time:')
# Create another list from a list within a style.
list2 = doc.lists.add(list_style=list_style)
self.assertFalse(list2.is_list_style_definition)
self.assertTrue(list2.is_list_style_reference)
self.assertEqual(list_style, list2.style)
# Add some list items that our list will format.
builder.list_format.list = list2
builder.writeln('Item 1')
builder.writeln('Item 2')
builder.list_format.remove_numbers()
builder.writeln('Using list style second time:')
# Create and apply another list based on the list style.
list3 = doc.lists.add(list_style=list_style)
builder.list_format.list = list3
builder.writeln('Item 1')
builder.writeln('Item 2')
builder.list_format.remove_numbers()
builder.document.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'Lists.CreateAndUseListStyle.docx')
