Shows how to traverse a composite node’s tree of child nodes.

doc = aw.Document(file_name=MY_DIR + 'Paragraphs.docx')
# Any node that can contain child nodes, such as the document itself, is composite.
self.assertTrue(doc.is_composite)
# Invoke the recursive function that will go through and print all the child nodes of a composite node.
self.traverse_all_nodes(doc, 0)

Shows how to traverse a composite node’s tree of child nodes (TraverseAllNodes).

    child_node = parent_node.first_child
    while child_node != None:
        sys.stdout.write(f'\t' * depth + aw.Node.node_type_to_string(child_node.node_type))
        # Recurse into the node if it is a composite node. Otherwise, print its contents if it is an inline node.
        if child_node.is_composite:
            sys.stdout.write('\n')
            self.traverse_all_nodes(child_node.as_composite_node(), depth + 1)

        child_node = child_node.next_sibling

Shows how to find out if a tables are nested.

tables = doc.get_child_nodes(aw.NodeType.TABLE, True)
i = 0
while i < tables.count:
    table = tables[i].as_table()

    count = ExTable._get_child_table_count(table)
    print('Table #{0} has {1} tables directly within its cells'.format(i, count))
    # Find out if the table is nested inside another table, and, if so, at what depth.
    table_depth = ExTable._get_nested_depth_of_table(table)
    if table_depth > 0:
        print('Table #{0} is nested inside another table at depth of {1}'.format(i, table_depth))
    else:
        print('Table #{0} is a non nested table (is not a child of another table)'.format(i))
    i += 1
