ListLevel class
ListLevel class
Defines formatting for a list level. To learn more, visit the Working with Lists documentation article.
Remarks
You do not create objects of this class. List level objects are created automatically when a list is created. You access ListLevel objects via the ListLevelCollection collection.
Use the properties of ListLevel to specify list formatting for individual list levels.

Examples
Shows how to apply custom list formatting to paragraphs when using DocumentBuilder.
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.
# Create a list from a Microsoft Word template, and customize the first two of its list levels.
list = doc.lists.add(list_template=aw.lists.ListTemplate.NUMBER_DEFAULT)
list_level = list.list_levels[0]
list_level.font.color = aspose.pydrawing.Color.red
list_level.font.size = 24
list_level.number_style = aw.NumberStyle.ORDINAL_TEXT
list_level.start_at = 21
list_level.number_format = '\x00'
list_level.number_position = -36
list_level.text_position = 144
list_level.tab_position = 144
list_level = list.list_levels[1]
list_level.alignment = aw.lists.ListLevelAlignment.RIGHT
list_level.number_style = aw.NumberStyle.BULLET
list_level.font.name = 'Wingdings'
list_level.font.color = aspose.pydrawing.Color.blue
list_level.font.size = 24
# This NumberFormat value will create star-shaped bullet list symbols.
list_level.number_format = '\uf0af'
list_level.trailing_character = aw.lists.ListTrailingCharacter.SPACE
list_level.number_position = 144
# Create paragraphs and apply both list levels of our custom list formatting to them.
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc=doc)
builder.list_format.list = list
builder.writeln('The quick brown fox...')
builder.writeln('The quick brown fox...')
builder.list_format.list_indent()
builder.writeln('jumped over the lazy dog.')
builder.writeln('jumped over the lazy dog.')
builder.list_format.list_outdent()
builder.writeln('The quick brown fox...')
