Examples

Shows how to create and use a paragraph style with list formatting.

doc = aw.Document()
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc=doc)
# Create a custom paragraph style.
style = doc.styles.add(aw.StyleType.PARAGRAPH, 'MyStyle1')
style.font.size = 24
style.font.name = 'Verdana'
style.paragraph_format.space_after = 12
# Create a list and make sure the paragraphs that use this style will use this list.
style.list_format.list = doc.lists.add(list_template=aw.lists.ListTemplate.BULLET_DEFAULT)
style.list_format.list_level_number = 0
# Apply the paragraph style to the document builder's current paragraph, and then add some text.
builder.paragraph_format.style = style
builder.writeln('Hello World: MyStyle1, bulleted list.')
# Change the document builder's style to one that has no list formatting and write another paragraph.
builder.paragraph_format.style = doc.styles.get_by_name('Normal')
builder.writeln('Hello World: Normal.')
builder.document.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'Styles.ParagraphStyleBulletedList.docx')

Shows how to create and apply a custom style.

doc = aw.Document()
style = doc.styles.add(aw.StyleType.PARAGRAPH, 'MyStyle')
style.font.name = 'Times New Roman'
style.font.size = 16
style.font.color = aspose.pydrawing.Color.navy
# Automatically redefine style.
style.automatically_update = True
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc)
# Apply one of the styles from the document to the paragraph that the document builder is creating.
builder.paragraph_format.style = doc.styles.get_by_name('MyStyle')
builder.writeln('Hello world!')
first_paragraph_style = doc.first_section.body.first_paragraph.paragraph_format.style
self.assertEqual(style, first_paragraph_style)
# Remove our custom style from the document's styles collection.
doc.styles.get_by_name('MyStyle').remove()
first_paragraph_style = doc.first_section.body.first_paragraph.paragraph_format.style
# Any text that used a removed style reverts to the default formatting.
self.assertFalse(any((s.name == 'MyStyle' for s in doc.styles)))
self.assertEqual('Times New Roman', first_paragraph_style.font.name)
self.assertEqual(12.0, first_paragraph_style.font.size)
self.assertEqual(aspose.pydrawing.Color.empty().to_argb(), first_paragraph_style.font.color.to_argb())
