body property

Section.body property

Returns the Body child node of the section.

@property
def body(self) -> aspose.words.Body:
    ...

Remarks

Body contains main text of the section.

Returns None if the section does not have a Body node among its children.

Examples

Clears main text from all sections from the document leaving the sections themselves.

doc = aw.Document()
# A blank document contains one section, one body and one paragraph.
# Call the "RemoveAllChildren" method to remove all those nodes,
# and end up with a document node with no children.
doc.remove_all_children()
# This document now has no composite child nodes that we can add content to.
# If we wish to edit it, we will need to repopulate its node collection.
# First, create a new section, and then append it as a child to the root document node.
section = aw.Section(doc)
doc.append_child(section)
# A section needs a body, which will contain and display all its contents
# on the page between the section's header and footer.
body = aw.Body(doc)
section.append_child(body)
# This body has no children, so we cannot add runs to it yet.
self.assertEqual(0, doc.first_section.body.get_child_nodes(aw.NodeType.ANY, True).count)
# Call the "EnsureMinimum" to make sure that this body contains at least one empty paragraph.
body.ensure_minimum()
# Now, we can add runs to the body, and get the document to display them.
body.first_paragraph.append_child(aw.Run(doc=doc, text='Hello world!'))
self.assertEqual('Hello world!', doc.get_text().strip())
