Examples

Shows how to add various control characters to a document.

doc = aw.Document()
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc)
# Add a regular space.
builder.write('Before space.' + aw.ControlChar.SPACE_CHAR + 'After space.')
# Add an NBSP, which is a non-breaking space.
# Unlike the regular space, this space cannot have an automatic line break at its position.
builder.write('Before space.' + aw.ControlChar.NON_BREAKING_SPACE + 'After space.')
# Add a tab character.
builder.write('Before tab.' + aw.ControlChar.TAB + 'After tab.')
# Add a line break.
builder.write('Before line break.' + aw.ControlChar.LINE_BREAK + 'After line break.')
# Add a new line and starts a new paragraph.
self.assertEqual(1, doc.first_section.body.get_child_nodes(aw.NodeType.PARAGRAPH, True).count)
builder.write('Before line feed.' + aw.ControlChar.LINE_FEED + 'After line feed.')
self.assertEqual(2, doc.first_section.body.get_child_nodes(aw.NodeType.PARAGRAPH, True).count)
# The line feed character has two versions.
self.assertEqual(aw.ControlChar.LINE_FEED, aw.ControlChar.LF)
# Carriage returns and line feeds can be represented together by one character.
self.assertEqual(aw.ControlChar.CR_LF, aw.ControlChar.CR + aw.ControlChar.LF)
# Add a paragraph break, which will start a new paragraph.
builder.write('Before paragraph break.' + aw.ControlChar.PARAGRAPH_BREAK + 'After paragraph break.')
self.assertEqual(3, doc.first_section.body.get_child_nodes(aw.NodeType.PARAGRAPH, True).count)
# Add a section break. This does not make a new section or paragraph.
self.assertEqual(1, doc.sections.count)
builder.write('Before section break.' + aw.ControlChar.SECTION_BREAK + 'After section break.')
self.assertEqual(1, doc.sections.count)
# Add a page break.
builder.write('Before page break.' + aw.ControlChar.PAGE_BREAK + 'After page break.')
# A page break is the same value as a section break.
self.assertEqual(aw.ControlChar.PAGE_BREAK, aw.ControlChar.SECTION_BREAK)
# Insert a new section, and then set its column count to two.
doc.append_child(aw.Section(doc))
builder.move_to_section(1)
builder.current_section.page_setup.text_columns.set_count(2)
# We can use a control character to mark the point where text moves to the next column.
builder.write('Text at end of column 1.' + aw.ControlChar.COLUMN_BREAK + 'Text at beginning of column 2.')
doc.save(ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'ControlChar.insert_control_chars.docx')
# There are char and string counterparts for most characters.
self.assertEqual(aw.ControlChar.CELL, aw.ControlChar.CELL_CHAR)
self.assertEqual(aw.ControlChar.NON_BREAKING_SPACE, aw.ControlChar.NON_BREAKING_SPACE_CHAR)
self.assertEqual(aw.ControlChar.TAB, aw.ControlChar.TAB_CHAR)
