Examples

Shows how to create a structured document tag with custom XML data.

doc = aw.Document()
# Construct an XML part that contains data and add it to the document's collection.
# If we enable the "Developer" tab in Microsoft Word,
# we can find elements from this collection in the "XML Mapping Pane", along with a few default elements.
xml_part_id = str(uuid.uuid4())
xml_part_content = '<root><text>Hello world!</text></root>'
xml_part = doc.custom_xml_parts.add(xml_part_id, xml_part_content)
self.assertEqual(xml_part_content.encode('ascii'), xml_part.data)
self.assertEqual(xml_part_id, xml_part.id)
# Below are two ways to refer to XML parts.
# 1 -  By an index in the custom XML part collection:
self.assertEqual(xml_part, doc.custom_xml_parts[0])
# 2 -  By GUID:
self.assertEqual(xml_part, doc.custom_xml_parts.get_by_id(xml_part_id))
# Add an XML schema association.
xml_part.schemas.add('http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema')
# Clone a part, and then insert it into the collection.
xml_part_clone = xml_part.clone()
xml_part_clone.id = str(uuid.uuid4())
doc.custom_xml_parts.add(xml_part_clone)
self.assertEqual(2, doc.custom_xml_parts.count)
# Iterate through the collection and print the contents of each part.
for index, part in enumerate(doc.custom_xml_parts):
    print(f'XML part index {index}, ID: {part.id}')
    print(f"\tContent: {part.data.decode('utf-8')}")
# Use the "remove_at" method to remove the cloned part by index.
doc.custom_xml_parts.remove_at(1)
self.assertEqual(1, doc.custom_xml_parts.count)
# Clone the XML parts collection, and then use the "Clear" method to remove all its elements at once.
custom_xml_parts = doc.custom_xml_parts.clone()
custom_xml_parts.clear()
# Create a structured document tag that will display our part's contents and insert it into the document body.
tag = aw.markup.StructuredDocumentTag(doc, aw.markup.SdtType.PLAIN_TEXT, aw.markup.MarkupLevel.BLOCK)
tag.xml_mapping.set_mapping(xml_part, '/root[1]/text[1]', '')
doc.first_section.body.append_child(tag)
doc.save(ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'StructuredDocumentTag.creating_custom_xml.docx')
