Examples

Shows how to create a list style and use it in a document.

doc = aw.Document()
# A list allows us to organize and decorate sets of paragraphs with prefix symbols and indents.
# We can create nested lists by increasing the indent level.
# We can begin and end a list by using a document builder's "ListFormat" property.
# Each paragraph that we add between a list's start and the end will become an item in the list.
# We can contain an entire List object within a style.
list_style = doc.styles.add(aw.StyleType.LIST, 'MyListStyle')
list1 = list_style.list
self.assertTrue(list1.is_list_style_definition)
self.assertFalse(list1.is_list_style_reference)
self.assertTrue(list1.is_multi_level)
self.assertEqual(list_style, list1.style)
# Change the appearance of all list levels in our list.
for level in list1.list_levels:
    level.font.name = 'Verdana'
    level.font.color = aspose.pydrawing.Color.blue
    level.font.bold = True
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc=doc)
builder.writeln('Using list style first time:')
# Create another list from a list within a style.
list2 = doc.lists.add(list_style=list_style)
self.assertFalse(list2.is_list_style_definition)
self.assertTrue(list2.is_list_style_reference)
self.assertEqual(list_style, list2.style)
# Add some list items that our list will format.
builder.list_format.list = list2
builder.writeln('Item 1')
builder.writeln('Item 2')
builder.list_format.remove_numbers()
builder.writeln('Using list style second time:')
# Create and apply another list based on the list style.
list3 = doc.lists.add(list_style=list_style)
builder.list_format.list = list3
builder.writeln('Item 1')
builder.writeln('Item 2')
builder.list_format.remove_numbers()
builder.document.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'Lists.CreateAndUseListStyle.docx')

Shows how to add a Style to a document’s styles collection.

doc = aw.Document()
styles = doc.styles
# Set default parameters for new styles that we may later add to this collection.
styles.default_font.name = 'Courier New'
# If we add a style of the "StyleType.Paragraph", the collection will apply the values of
# its "DefaultParagraphFormat" property to the style's "ParagraphFormat" property.
styles.default_paragraph_format.first_line_indent = 15
# Add a style, and then verify that it has the default settings.
styles.add(aw.StyleType.PARAGRAPH, 'MyStyle')
self.assertEqual('Courier New', styles[4].font.name)
self.assertEqual(15, styles.get_by_name('MyStyle').paragraph_format.first_line_indent)
