News of docx4j

I want to replace a place holder , for which I create placeholder like ${paceholder1} in the document , to replace i use the code below

Code: Select all

         List<Object> texts = getAllElementFromObject(template.getMainDocumentPart(), Text.class);
         replacePlaceHolders(texts, mappings);

   private static void replacePlaceHolders(List<?> texts,Map<String, String>  mappings){
      for (Object object : texts) {
         Text  textElement=(Text)object;
         String textToReplace=textElement.getValue();
         if(mappings.keySet().contains(textToReplace)){
            textElement.setValue(mappings.get(textToReplace));
         }
      }
   }



surprisingly in the above code textElement.getValue(); never returns ${paceholder1}.

below is document.xml , word replaces my place holder ...

can we delete a paragraph or a table from a document ? Are there any examples ?

docx4j gives you exactly what it finds in the document.xml part (unzip your docx to have a look). What you see on the document surface in the Word (or for that matter, LibreOffice/OpenOffice) GUI, may be simpler than what that program actually creates at the XML level.

If you were creating the content in docx4j, you'd likely do it as you describe.

Have a look in the styles part (styles.xml). There you'll see, for example:


<w:style w:type="paragraph" w:styleId="Heading1">
<w:name w:val="heading 1"/>

I need to get all the w:p (ListParagraphs) when converting from docx to xhtml.

Has anyone got any tips for doing this? I can render them individually but I would like to render the complete list under another tag such as a separate div or ul?

Thanks

Hello,
I am a very new user to docx4j. It's has great potential for allowing our users to author documents/articles in Word without having to touch an XML editor.

One problem that I need to solve is that I think I need a package: org.docx4j.convert.out.xml (similar to .....html) that will allow custom conversion from docx to our proprietary XML format.

I have been trying to use org.docx4j.convert.out.html.HtmlExporterNG2 with the sample class org.docx4j.samples.ConvertOutHtml and I have ...

I have been facing an issue when I try to copy the header from a given template to an existing document. However, the problem is seen only with headers that are more complex than a simple text header. I have attached a sample dotx file containing the header and when I try to run the code I have written, it shows only part of the header (in this case, the line underneath it). The surprising ...

Can I get the style of text object directly or can I get the paragraph for text object?
or should I traverse and keep the paragraph for each text to get the style from ?

Paragraph properties are stored at the paragraph level; run properties are stored at the run level (w:r) parent of w:t.

Depending what you are trying to do, you should probably traverse and keep the paragraph and/or run properties.

also, sometimes ...

Paragraphs which aren't styled use the default paragraph style (ie Normal).

Just check getPPr()!=null before doing getPStyle()

docx4j gives you access to everything in the docx (except for mc:AlternateContent/mc:Choice which is pre-filtered) provided it is valid according to the schema.

Can I get flow chart objects information ?

Per above, yes. Exactly how depends on how you have made your flow chart. Unzip your docx and look at its document.xml. What you see is likely to be ugly...

What about comments and bookmarks in the word document?

Sure.

Consider using content controls ...
