Examples

Shows how to work with an editable range.

doc = aw.Document()
doc.protect(type=aw.ProtectionType.READ_ONLY, password='MyPassword')
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc=doc)
builder.writeln("Hello world! Since we have set the document's protection level to read-only," + ' we cannot edit this paragraph without the password.')
# Editable ranges allow us to leave parts of protected documents open for editing.
editable_range_start = builder.start_editable_range()
builder.writeln('This paragraph is inside an editable range, and can be edited.')
editable_range_end = builder.end_editable_range()
# A well-formed editable range has a start node, and end node.
# These nodes have matching IDs and encompass editable nodes.
editable_range = editable_range_start.editable_range
self.assertEqual(editable_range_start.id, editable_range.id)
self.assertEqual(editable_range_end.id, editable_range.id)
# Different parts of the editable range link to each other.
self.assertEqual(editable_range_start.id, editable_range.editable_range_start.id)
self.assertEqual(editable_range_start.id, editable_range_end.editable_range_start.id)
self.assertEqual(editable_range.id, editable_range_start.editable_range.id)
self.assertEqual(editable_range_end.id, editable_range.editable_range_end.id)
# We can access the node types of each part like this. The editable range itself is not a node,
# but an entity which consists of a start, an end, and their enclosed contents.
self.assertEqual(aw.NodeType.EDITABLE_RANGE_START, editable_range_start.node_type)
self.assertEqual(aw.NodeType.EDITABLE_RANGE_END, editable_range_end.node_type)
builder.writeln('This paragraph is outside the editable range, and cannot be edited.')
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'EditableRange.CreateAndRemove.docx')
# Remove an editable range. All the nodes that were inside the range will remain intact.
