Insert text on bookmark

[netdieter]

Hi im new to docx4j.
My problem is how do I insert a text within an template containing some bookmarks.
I'm able to find the bookmarks but i stuck on finding a method to insert text right after the bookmark.

Is there a way to accomplish this?

Thanx

Assuming you are using TraversalUtil (eg https://github.com/plutext/docx4j/blob/ ... inder.java ),
then you can get from the bookmarkStart to the list containing that object, via getParent.

Then you can delete the content between bookmarkStart and bookmarkEnd, and add a run containing your text.

I guess it would be useful to add a method which does this for you .. A robust version would handle the case where the bookmarkEnd is not in the same paragraph.

Note that for a simple looking sentence:

This is a sentence with a empty slot in it.

Word may generate rather verbose XML:

I'll write some code to do this for you, if you can hang on...

Hi Jason,

a small correction is necessary in BookmarksReplaceWithText.java
https://github.com/plutext/docx4j/blob/ ... hText.java,
if I am not mistaken.

Instead of:

Code: Select all

if (rangeStart > 0 && rangeEnd > rangeStart) {

should be:

Code: Select all

if (rangeStart >= 0 && rangeEnd > rangeStart) {
