Examples

Shows how to clear the contents of a section.

doc = aw.Document()
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc)

builder.write("Hello world!")

self.assertEqual("Hello world!", doc.get_text().strip())
self.assertEqual(1, doc.first_section.body.paragraphs.count)

# Running the "clear_content" method will remove all the section contents
# but leave a blank paragraph to add content again.
doc.first_section.clear_content()

self.assertEqual("", doc.get_text().strip())
self.assertEqual(1, doc.first_section.body.paragraphs.count)
