News of content controls (w:sdt) and data binding

I'm using content controls binding in docx4j to generate word document. I have repeat content control which prints elements in word as text. Each element is separated by ", \r\n".
I'd like to ask if it's possible to make condition with XPath which will check if current iteration is last one, or to check current iteration index. That would allow me to skip seperator for last element.
Example:
XML:

Code: Select all

<elements>
<element>el1</element>
<element>el2</element>
<element>el3</element>
</elements>

Current ...

Hi,

I'm using the opendope content control toolkit and docx4j to bind information in a custom XML to my word document. It has worked out great so far. But now I need to bind images. To do this I'm using a picture content control, then binding it to an xpath in the custom xml, and then filling that xml with a Base 64 encode of the image I want. My problem is that when i ...

I used the word helper addin to generate a document containing repeat, condition, and, I wanted also to include a richtext control. It seems that the result always is a plain text control, not a richtext control, cause a formatting applied to a part of the contained text (e.g. set it to bold), is applied to the whole contents of the control, not only the selected part. How can I produce a richtext control?

I have error when using od:condition placed over table row.
In case the same od:condition is placed over single text it is working fine.
The error is

Code: Select all

Hi,
I want to replace a text by an image in a docx, my aproach is to find the text that I want to replace in the XML version and replace it by the XML code for a picture.

I've already done the first part, find the text thank's to xpath and JAXBNodes:

Code: Select all

String xpath = "//w:r[w:t[contains(text(),'$logo$')]]";
List<Object> list = this.getDocumentPart().getJAXBNodesViaXPath(xpath, false);


But now I don't know what to do for replace that ...

Hello everyone,

My requirement is that I should be able to programmatically create an opendope repeat tag using Docx4j. My aim is to recreate the invoice.docx file ( at https://github.com/plutext/docx4j/blob/ ... voice.docx ) programmatically from scratch using nothing but the docx4j Java API.

I think I have followed the right approach but obviously something is missing. Upon opening the file in word I get an "Unspecified error at line ...

Hi Jason,

Thank you for creating the docx4j library as an open source project to help us all - I really appreciate the hard work that you must have put in over the years.

I am trying to get upto speed on docx4j and I went through the example "FromVariableReplacement.java" at https://github.com/plutext/docx4j/blob/ ... ement.java - I am able to run this example successfully.

Question:

This code takes text of ...

Hi Jason,

Our DocX template has grown over the last couple of years with several changes in the XML structure etc.

I wonder what is the recommended way to identify orphan objects like conditions or xpaths.
Is there any build-in functionality in OpenDope or Word that can be used?

Thanks,
Klaus

Hi,

I'm evaluating OpenDoPE and docx4j if it could replace a Custom XML Word solution which is not longer supported by Word since Word 2010.
We have some simple documents where I think OpenDoPE could be the solution but we have also documents with loops/repeats where we are having a loop depth of 7.
So I need to nest loops into loops. Is this possible with OpenDoPE and the Word Add In?

regards
Hagen

I would like to test out the condition binding in docx4j

I found that some xpath function works but some does not, for example contains works but matches does not work:

/path/teststring contains abc

xpath="contains(/path/teststring,"abc")" returns true

xpath="string(/path/teststring)="abc"" does not return true

xpath="matches(/path/teststring,"abc")" fails

Please advise what is the best way to compare xpath value with string.
