accept method

accept(visitor)

Accepts a visitor.

def accept(self, visitor: aspose.words.DocumentVisitor):
    ...
ParameterTypeDescription
visitorDocumentVisitorThe visitor that will visit the nodes.

Remarks

Enumerates over this node and all of its children. Each node calls a corresponding method on DocumentVisitor.

For more info see the Visitor design pattern.

Calls DocumentVisitor.visit_office_math_start(), then calls Node.accept() for all child nodes of the Office Math and calls DocumentVisitor.visit_office_math_end() at the end.

Returns

True if all nodes were visited; false if DocumentVisitor stopped the operation before visiting all nodes.

Examples

Shows how to print the node structure of every office math node in a document.

    doc = aw.Document(MY_DIR + "DocumentVisitor-compatible features.docx")
    visitor = ExDocumentVisitor.OfficeMathStructurePrinter()

    # When we get a composite node to accept a document visitor, the visitor visits the accepting node,
    # and then traverses all the node's children in a depth-first manner.
    # The visitor can read and modify each visited node.
    doc.accept(visitor)

    print(visitor.get_text())
