def add(self, type: aspose.words.StyleType, name: str):
    ...

Parameter	Type	Description
type	StyleType	A StyleType value that specifies the type of the style to create.
name	str	Case sensitive name of the style to create.

When creating a list style, the style is created with default numbered list formatting (1 \ a \ i).

Throws an exception if a style with this name already exists.

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 "list_format" 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 = drawing.Color.blue
    level.font.bold = True

builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc)

builder.writeln("Using list style first time:")

# Create another list from a list within a style.
list2 = doc.lists.add(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)
builder.list_format.list = list3
builder.writeln("Item 1")
builder.writeln("Item 2")
builder.list_format.remove_numbers()

builder.document.save(ARTIFACTS_DIR + "Lists.create_and_use_list_style.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 "default_paragraph_format" property to the style's "paragraph_format" property.
styles.default_paragraph_format.first_line_indent = 15.0

# 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(15.0, styles.get_by_name("MyStyle").paragraph_format.first_line_indent)
