Creating underlined / centered text.

[wreed12345]

I have found out I can easily create underlined using

Code: Select all

String str = "<w:p xmlns:w=\"http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main\" ><w:r><w:rPr><w:b /></w:rPr><w:u>Bold text </w:u></w:t></w:r></w:p>";


Is there a simple way to create underlined text or centered text like this? I have no xml (which i think that is right?) experience besides some minor android stuff, so i am not too sure. THanks in advanced

Close, but not quite.

I define this string and try adding it to my document

Code: Select all

      String openXML = "<w:p xmlns:w=\"http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main\">"
               + "<w:pPr>"
                   + "<w:jc w:val=\"center\"/>"
                   + "<w:rPr>"
                       + "<w:u w:val=\"single\"/>"
                       + "<w:lang w:val=\"en-AU\"/>"
                   +"</w:rPr>"
               +"</w:pPr>"
               + "<w:r>"
                   + "<w:rPr>"
                       + "<w:u w:val=\"single\"/>"
                       + "<w:lang w:val=\"en-AU\"/>"
                   +"</w:rPr>"
                   + "<w:t>Underlined and centred</w:t>"
               +"</w:r>"
           +"</w:p>";
      
      wordMLPackage.getMainDocumentPart().addObject(
            org.docx4j.XmlUtils.unmarshalString(openXML));


but no luck :'(

[wreed12345]

I got things to work underlined by using this by centered is not working :/

Code: Select all

      String str = "<w:p xmlns:w=\"http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main\" ><w:r><w:rPr><w:u w:val=\"single\"/></w:rPr><w:t>Centered and underlined text</w:t></w:r></w:p>";


[jason]

That code of mine works. And so does the version of it you pasted.

Per the error you got, you obviously left off the closing w:r tag in some other part of your code.

[wreed12345]

Ok so I found out this code fails when I am doing this:

Code: Select all

WordprocessingMLPackage wordMLPackage = WordprocessingMLPackage
            .createPackage();
      //org.docx4j.wml.ObjectFactory factory = Context.getWmlObjectFactory();
      String str = "<w:p xmlns:w=\"http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main\" ><w:r><w:rPr><w:b /></w:rPr><w:u>Bold, just at w:r level </w:u></w:t></w:r></w:p>";
      
      wordMLPackage.getMainDocumentPart().addObject(
            org.docx4j.XmlUtils.unmarshalString(str));
      
       String openXML = "<w:p xmlns:w=\"http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main\"><w:pPr><w:jc w:val=\"center\"/><w:rPr><w:u w:val=\"single\"/><w:lang w:val=\"en-AU\"/></w:rPr></w:pPr><w:r><w:rPr><w:u w:val=\"single\"/><w:lang w:val=\"en-AU\"/></w:rPr><w:t>Underlined and centred</w:t></w:r></w:p>";
        
         wordMLPackage.getMainDocumentPart().addObject(
               org.docx4j.XmlUtils.unmarshalString(openXML));


But if i only use the one of those two strings and only add one to the document it works fine. Do I need to create a new object of some sort to make these work or am i not understanding something

[jason]

Your problem is that "<w:u>Bold, just at w:r level </w:u>" is not valid WordML.

Worse, you have "</w:t>" after it with no corresponding opening tag.

You'll avoid these kinds of errors if you use the code generation tool, instead of crafting your XML manually

[wreed12345]

ok so i used that online tool to view how bold text is created. This is what came up for the document

Code: Select all

            <w:body>

                    <w:pPr>

What exactly would i transfer to a string to make this work?

[jason]

Did you notice the hyperlinks?

Basically, you click on the w:p or w:r of interest.

See http://www.docx4java.org/blog/2013/05/d ... eneration/ for walk through.

[wreed12345]

Oh wow I actually did not notice those. That helps a lot! My final question is how to set the text of one of these things strings:

Code: Select all

      String openXML = "<w:p xmlns:w=\"http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main\" xmlns:xml=\"http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace\">"
               + "<w:pPr>"
                   + "<w:jc w:val=\"center\"/>"
                   + "<w:rPr>"
                       + "<w:u w:val=\"single\"/>"
                   +"</w:rPr>"
               +"</w:pPr>"
               + "<w:r>"
                   + "<w:rPr>"
                       + "<w:u w:val=\"single\"/>"
                   +"</w:rPr>"
                   + "<w:t>Underlined</w:t>"
               +"</w:r>"
               + "<w:r>"
                   + "<w:rPr>"
                       + "<w:u w:val=\"single\"/>"
                   +"</w:rPr>"
                   + "<w:t xml:space=\"preserve\"> and Centered</w:t>"
               +"</w:r>"
           +"</w:p>";


to another pre defined string. Would I have to use the java version of this to get it working?

[wreed12345]

By that I mean the text that that above string returns or creates rather - where it says "and centered" could I set that to the value of a String apples = "apples"; or would I have to do this the java way.

[jason]

You can just make a method out of the thing, using basic Java techniques:

I tried doing something like that but without the method just the string part. Then I got an error when it came to saving the document:(

[jason]

Well, you do need to take care to make sure your string is still valid WordML.

XML is very picky:
- it must be well-formed
- it must be valid according to the schema
- and then, in Word, there are additional app level requirements (ie just because it is valid and well-formed, doesn't mean Word will like it!)
