Constructor Detail

• Comment

  public Comment(DocumentBase doc)

  Initializes a new instance of the Comment class.

  When Comment is created, it belongs to the specified document, but is not yet part of the document and ParentNode is null.

  To append Comment to the document use InsertAfter or InsertBefore on the paragraph where you want the comment inserted.

  After creating a comment, don't forget to set its Author, Initial and DateTime properties.

  Parameters:

  doc - The owner document.

  Example:

  Shows how to create comments with replies and get all interested info.

  public void createCommentsAndPrintAllInfo() throws Exception {
      Document doc = new Document();
      doc.removeAllChildren();

  doc - The owner document.

  author - The author name for the comment. Cannot be null.

  initial - The author initials for the comment. Cannot be null.

  dateTime - The date and time for the comment.

  Example:

Property Getters/Setters Detail

• getAncestor

  public Comment getAncestor()
  

  Returns the parent Comment object. Returns null for top-level comments.

  Example:

  Shows how to get all comments with all replies.

  Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Comments.docx");
  
  // Get all comment from the document
  NodeCollection comments = doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.COMMENT, true);
  
  // For all comments and replies we identify comment level and info about it
  for (Comment comment : (Iterable<Comment>) comments) {
      if (comment.getAncestor() == null) {
          System.out.println("\nThis is a top-level comment");
          System.out.println("Comment author: " + comment.getAuthor());
          System.out.println("Comment text: " + comment.getText());
  
          for (Comment commentReply : comment.getReplies()) {
              System.out.println("\n\tThis is a comment reply");
              System.out.println("\tReply author: " + commentReply.getAuthor());
              System.out.println("\tReply text: " + commentReply.getText());
          }
      }
  }

• getAuthor/setAuthor

  public java.lang.String getAuthor() / public void setAuthor(java.lang.String value)
  

  Returns or sets the author name for a comment.

  Cannot be null.

  Default is empty string.

  Example:

  Shows how to get all comments with all replies.

  Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Comments.docx");
  
  // Get all comment from the document
  NodeCollection comments = doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.COMMENT, true);
  
  // For all comments and replies we identify comment level and info about it
  for (Comment comment : (Iterable<Comment>) comments) {
      if (comment.getAncestor() == null) {
          System.out.println("\nThis is a top-level comment");
          System.out.println("Comment author: " + comment.getAuthor());
          System.out.println("Comment text: " + comment.getText());
  
          for (Comment commentReply : comment.getReplies()) {
              System.out.println("\n\tThis is a comment reply");
              System.out.println("\tReply author: " + commentReply.getAuthor());
              System.out.println("\tReply text: " + commentReply.getText());
          }
      }
  }

• getChildNodes

  public NodeCollection getChildNodes()
  

  Gets all immediate child nodes of this node.

  Note, ChildNodes is equivalent to calling GetChildNodes(NodeType.Any, false) and creates and returns a new collection every time it is accessed.

  If there are no child nodes, this property returns an empty collection.

  Example:

  Shows how to enumerate immediate children of a CompositeNode using the enumerator provided by the ChildNodes collection.

  Document doc = new Document();
  
  Paragraph paragraph = (Paragraph) doc.getChild(NodeType.PARAGRAPH, 0, true);
  paragraph.appendChild(new Run(doc, "Hello world!"));
  paragraph.appendChild(new Run(doc, " Hello again!"));
  
  NodeCollection children = paragraph.getChildNodes();
  
  // Paragraph may contain children of various types such as runs, shapes and so on
  for (Node child : (Iterable<Node>) children)
      if (((child.getNodeType()) == (NodeType.RUN))) {
          Run run = (Run) child;
          System.out.println(run.getText());
      }

• getCount

  public int getCount()
  

  Gets the number of immediate children of this node.

  Example:

  Shows how to add, update and delete child nodes from a CompositeNode's child collection.

  Document doc = new Document();
  
  // An empty document has one paragraph by default
  Assert.assertEquals(1, doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getParagraphs().getCount());
  
  // A paragraph is a composite node because it can contain runs, which are another type of node
  Paragraph paragraph = doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph();
  Run paragraphText = new Run(doc, "Initial text. ");
  paragraph.appendChild(paragraphText);
  
  // We will place these 3 children into the main text of our paragraph
  Run run1 = new Run(doc, "Run 1. ");
  Run run2 = new Run(doc, "Run 2. ");
  Run run3 = new Run(doc, "Run 3. ");
  
  // We initialized them but not in our paragraph yet
  Assert.assertEquals("Initial text.", paragraph.getText().trim());
  
  // Insert run2 before initial paragraph text. This will be at the start of the paragraph
  paragraph.insertBefore(run2, paragraphText);
  
  // Insert run3 after initial paragraph text. This will be at the end of the paragraph
  paragraph.insertAfter(run3, paragraphText);
  
  // Insert run1 before every other child node. run2 was the start of the paragraph, now it will be run1
  paragraph.prependChild(run1);
  
  Assert.assertEquals("Run 1. Run 2. Initial text. Run 3.", paragraph.getText().trim());
  Assert.assertEquals(4, paragraph.getChildNodes(NodeType.ANY, true).getCount());
  
  // Access the child node collection and update/delete children
  ((Run) paragraph.getChildNodes(NodeType.RUN, true).get(1)).setText("Updated run 2. ");
  paragraph.getChildNodes(NodeType.RUN, true).remove(paragraphText);
  
  Assert.assertEquals("Run 1. Updated run 2. Run 3.", paragraph.getText().trim());
  Assert.assertEquals(3, paragraph.getChildNodes(NodeType.ANY, true).getCount());

• getDateTime/setDateTime

  public java.util.Date getDateTime() / public void setDateTime(java.util.Date value)
  

  Gets the date and time that the comment was made.

  Default is 03.01.0001.

  Example:

  Shows how to create comments with replies and get all interested info.

  public void createCommentsAndPrintAllInfo() throws Exception {
      Document doc = new Document();
      doc.removeAllChildren();
  
      Section sect = (Section) doc.appendChild(new Section(doc));

• getDocument

  public DocumentBase getDocument()
  

  Gets the document to which this node belongs.

  The node always belongs to a document even if it has just been created and not yet added to the tree, or if it has been removed from the tree.

  Example:

  Shows how to create a node and set its owning document.

  // Open a file from disk
  Document doc = new Document();
  
  // Creating a new node of any type requires a document passed into the constructor
  Paragraph para = new Paragraph(doc);
  
  // The new paragraph node does not yet have a parent
  System.out.println("Paragraph has no parent node: " + (para.getParentNode() == null));
  
  // But the paragraph node knows its document
  System.out.println("Both nodes' documents are the same: " + (para.getDocument() == doc));
  
  // The fact that a node always belongs to a document allows us to access and modify 
  // properties that reference the document-wide data such as styles or lists
  para.getParagraphFormat().setStyleName("Heading 1");
  
  // Now add the paragraph to the main text of the first section
  doc.getFirstSection().getBody().appendChild(para);
  
  // The paragraph node is now a child of the Body node
  System.out.println("Paragraph has a parent node: " + (para.getParentNode() != null));

• getDone/setDone

  public boolean getDone() / public void setDone(boolean value)
  

  Gets or sets flag indicating that the comment has been marked done.

  Example:

  Shows how to mark comment as Done.

  Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Comments.docx");
  
  NodeCollection comments = doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.COMMENT, true);
  
  Comment comment = (Comment) comments.get(0);
  CommentCollection repliesCollection = comment.getReplies();
  
  for (Comment childComment : repliesCollection) {
      if (!childComment.getDone()) {
          // Update comment reply Done mark
          childComment.setDone(true);
      }
  }

• getFirstChild

  public Node getFirstChild()
  

  Gets the first child of the node.

  If there is no first child node, a null is returned.

  Example:

  Shows how to enumerate immediate child nodes of a composite node using NextSibling.

  Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Paragraphs.docx");
  
  // Loop starting from the first child until we reach null
  for (Node node = doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstChild(); node != null; node = node.getNextSibling()) {
      // Output the types of the nodes that we come across
      System.out.println(Node.nodeTypeToString(node.getNodeType()));
  }

  Example:

  Shows how to efficiently visit all direct and indirect children of a composite node.

  public void recurseAllNodes() throws Exception {
      Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Paragraphs.docx");
  
      // Any node that can contain child nodes, such as the document itself, is composite
      Assert.assertTrue(doc.isComposite());

          } else {
              System.out.println();
          }
      }
  }

• getFirstParagraph

  public Paragraph getFirstParagraph()
  

  Gets the first paragraph in the story.

  Example:

  Shows how to add a comment to a paragraph in the document.

  Document doc = new Document();
  DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
  builder.write("Some text is added.");
  
  Date currentDate = new Date();
  
  Comment comment = new Comment(doc, "Amy Lee", "AL", currentDate);
  builder.getCurrentParagraph().appendChild(comment);
  comment.getParagraphs().add(new Paragraph(doc));
  comment.getFirstParagraph().getRuns().add(new Run(doc, "Comment text."));
  
  doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "InlineStory.AddComment.docx");

  Example:

  Shows how to add a footnote to a paragraph in the document and set its marker.

  Document doc = new Document();
  DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
  
  // Add text that will be referenced by a footnote
  builder.write("Main body text.");
  
  // Add a footnote and give it text, which will appear at the bottom of the page
  Footnote footnote = builder.insertFootnote(FootnoteType.FOOTNOTE, "Footnote text.");
  
  // This attribute means the footnote in the main text will automatically be assigned a number, "1" in this instance
  // The next footnote will get "2"
  Assert.assertTrue(footnote.isAuto());
  
  // We can edit the footnote's text like this
  // Make sure to move the builder back into the document body afterwards
  builder.moveTo(footnote.getFirstParagraph());
  builder.write(" More text added by a DocumentBuilder.");
  builder.moveToDocumentEnd();
  
  Assert.assertEquals(footnote.getParagraphs().get(0).toString(SaveFormat.TEXT).trim(), "Footnote text. More text added by a DocumentBuilder.");
  
  builder.write(" More main body text.");
  footnote = builder.insertFootnote(FootnoteType.FOOTNOTE, "Footnote text.");
  
  // Substitute the reference number for our own custom mark by setting this variable, "IsAuto" will also be set to false
  footnote.setReferenceMark("RefMark");
  Assert.assertFalse(footnote.isAuto());
  
  // This bookmark will get a number "3" even though there was no "2"
  builder.write(" More main body text.");
  footnote = builder.insertFootnote(FootnoteType.FOOTNOTE, "Footnote text.");
  Assert.assertTrue(footnote.isAuto());
  
  doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "InlineStory.AddFootnote.docx");

• getFont

  public Font getFont()
  

  Provides access to the font formatting of the anchor character of this object.

  Example:

  Shows how to insert InlineStory nodes.

  Document doc = new Document();
  DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
  Footnote footnote = builder.insertFootnote(FootnoteType.FOOTNOTE, null);
  
  // Table nodes have an "EnsureMinimum()" method that makes sure the table has at least one cell
  Table table = new Table(doc);
  table.ensureMinimum();
  
  // We can place a table inside a footnote, which will make it appear at the footer of the referencing page
  Assert.assertEquals(footnote.getTables().getCount(), 0);
  footnote.appendChild(table);
  Assert.assertEquals(footnote.getTables().getCount(), 1);
  Assert.assertEquals(footnote.getLastChild().getNodeType(), NodeType.TABLE);
  
  // An InlineStory has an "EnsureMinimum()" method as well, but in this case it makes sure the last child of the node is a paragraph,
  // so we can click and write text easily in Microsoft Word
  footnote.ensureMinimum();
  Assert.assertEquals(footnote.getLastChild().getNodeType(), NodeType.PARAGRAPH);
  
  // Edit the appearance of the anchor, which is the small superscript number in the main text that points to the footnote
  footnote.getFont().setName("Arial");
  footnote.getFont().setColor(Color.GREEN);
  
  // All inline story nodes have their own respective story types
  Assert.assertEquals(footnote.getStoryType(), StoryType.FOOTNOTES);
  
  // A comment is another type of inline story
  Comment comment = (Comment) builder.getCurrentParagraph().appendChild(new Comment(doc, "John Doe", "J. D.", new Date()));
  
  // The parent paragraph of an inline story node will be the one from the main document body
  Assert.assertEquals(comment.getParentParagraph(), doc.getFirstSection().getBody().getFirstParagraph());
  
  // However, the last paragraph is the one from the comment text contents, which will be outside the main document body in a speech bubble
  // A comment won't have any child nodes by default, so we can apply the EnsureMinimum() method to place a paragraph here as well
  Assert.assertNull(comment.getLastParagraph());
  comment.ensureMinimum();
  Assert.assertEquals(comment.getLastChild().getNodeType(), NodeType.PARAGRAPH);
  
  // Once we have a paragraph, we can move the builder do it and write our comment
  builder.moveTo(comment.getLastParagraph());
  builder.write("My comment.");
  
  Assert.assertEquals(comment.getStoryType(), StoryType.COMMENTS);
  
  doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "InlineStory.InsertInlineStoryNodes.docx");

• hasChildNodes

  public boolean hasChildNodes()
  

  Returns true if this node has any child nodes.

  Example:

  Shows how to combine the rows from two tables into one.

  // Load the document
  Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Tables.docx");
  
  // Get the first and second table in the document
  // The rows from the second table will be appended to the end of the first table
  Table firstTable = (Table) doc.getChild(NodeType.TABLE, 0, true);
  Table secondTable = (Table) doc.getChild(NodeType.TABLE, 1, true);
  
  // Append all rows from the current table to the next
  // Due to the design of tables even tables with different cell count and widths can be joined into one table
  while (secondTable.hasChildNodes())
      firstTable.getRows().add(secondTable.getFirstRow());
  
  // Remove the empty table container
  secondTable.remove();
  
  doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Table.CombineTables.docx");

• getId

  public int getId()
  

  Gets the comment identifier.

  The comment identifier allows to anchor a comment to a region of text in the document. The region must be demarcated using the CommentRangeStart and CommentRangeEnd object sharing the same identifier value as the Comment object.

  You would use this value when looking for the CommentRangeStart and CommentRangeEnd nodes that are linked to this comment.

  Comment identifiers are supposed to be unique across a document and Aspose.Words automatically maintains comment identifiers when loading, saving and combining documents.

  Example:

  Shows how to create comments with replies and get all interested info.

  public void createCommentsAndPrintAllInfo() throws Exception {
      Document doc = new Document();
      doc.removeAllChildren();
  
      Section sect = (Section) doc.appendChild(new Section(doc));

• getParentNode

  public CompositeNode getParentNode()
  

  Gets the immediate parent of this node.

  If a node has just been created and not yet added to the tree, or if it has been removed from the tree, the parent is null.

  Example:

  Shows how to access the parent node.

  // But the paragraph node knows its document
  System.out.println("Both nodes' documents are the same: " + (para.getDocument() == doc));
  
  // The fact that a node always belongs to a document allows us to access and modify 
  // properties that reference the document-wide data such as styles or lists
  para.getParagraphFormat().setStyleName("Heading 1");
  
  // Now add the paragraph to the main text of the first section
  doc.getFirstSection().getBody().appendChild(para);

Method Detail

• accept

  public boolean accept(DocumentVisitor visitor)
                throws java.lang.Exception

  Accepts a visitor.

  Enumerates over this node and all of its children. Each node calls a corresponding method on DocumentVisitor.

  For more info see the Visitor design pattern.

  Calls DocumentVisitor.visitCommentStart(com.aspose.words.Comment), then calls accept(com.aspose.words.DocumentVisitor) for all child nodes of the comment and calls DocumentVisitor.visitCommentEnd(com.aspose.words.Comment) at the end.

  Parameters:

  visitor - The visitor that will visit the nodes.

  Returns:

  True if all nodes were visited; false if DocumentVisitor stopped the operation before visiting all nodes.

  Example:

  Shows how to create comments with replies and get all interested info.

• addReply

  public Comment addReply(java.lang.String author, java.lang.String initial, java.util.Date dateTime, java.lang.String text)
                  throws java.lang.Exception

  Adds a reply to this comment.

  Due to the existing MS Office limitations only 1 level of replies is allowed in the document. An exception of type System.InvalidOperationException will be raised if this method is called on the existing Reply comment.

  Parameters:

  author - The author name for the reply.

  initial - The author initials for the reply.

  dateTime - The date and time for the reply.

  text - The reply text.

  Returns:

  The created Comment node for the reply.

• appendChild

  public Node appendChild(Node newChild)

  Adds the specified node to the end of the list of child nodes for this node.

  If the newChild is already in the tree, it is first removed.

  If the node being inserted was created from another document, you should use DocumentBase.importNode(com.aspose.words.Node,boolean,int) to import the node to the current document. The imported node can then be inserted into the current document.

  Parameters:

  newChild - The node to add.

  Returns:

  The node added.

  Example:

  // If we wish to edit it, we will need to repopulate its node collection,
  // which we will start to do with by creating a new Section node
  Section section = new Section(doc);
  
  // Append the section to the document
  doc.appendChild(section);
  
  // Lets set some properties for the section
  section.getPageSetup().setSectionStart(SectionStart.NEW_PAGE);

  // The section that we created is empty, lets populate it. The section needs at least the Body node
  Body body = new Body(doc);
  section.appendChild(body);
  
  // The body needs to have at least one paragraph
  // Note that the paragraph has not yet been added to the document, 
  // but we have to specify the parent document
  // The parent document is needed so the paragraph can correctly work
  // with styles and other document-wide information
  Paragraph para = new Paragraph(doc);
  body.appendChild(para);
  
  // We can set some formatting for the paragraph
  para.getParagraphFormat().setStyleName("Heading 1");
  para.getParagraphFormat().setAlignment(ParagraphAlignment.CENTER);
  
  // So far we have one empty paragraph in the document
  // The document is valid and can be saved, but lets add some text before saving
  // Create a new run of text and add it to our paragraph
  Run run = new Run(doc);
  run.setText("Hello World!");
  run.getFont().setColor(Color.RED);

• getChild

  public Node getChild(int nodeType, int index, boolean isDeep)

  Returns an Nth child node that matches the specified type.

  If index is out of range, a null is returned.

  Note that markup nodes (NodeType.STRUCTURED_DOCUMENT_TAG and NodeType.SMART_TAG) are traversed even when isDeep = false and GetChild is invoked for non-markup node type. For example if the first run in a para is wrapped in a StructuredDocumentTag, it will still be returned by GetChild(NodeType.Run, 0, false).

  Parameters:

  nodeType - A NodeType value. Specifies the type of the child node.

  index - Zero based index of the child node to select. Negative indexes are also allowed and indicate access from the end, that is -1 means the last node.

  isDeep - True to select from all child nodes recursively. False to select only among immediate children. See remarks for more info.

  Returns:

  The child node that matches the criteria or null if no matching node is found.

  Example:

  Shows how to expand the formatting from styles onto the rows and cells of the table as direct formatting.

  Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Tables.docx");
  Table table = (Table) doc.getChild(NodeType.TABLE, 0, true);
  
  // First print the color of the cell shading. This should be empty as the current shading
  // is stored in the table style
  double cellShadingBefore = table.getFirstRow().getRowFormat().getHeight();
  System.out.println("Cell shading before style expansion: " + cellShadingBefore);
  
  // Expand table style formatting to direct formatting
  doc.expandTableStylesToDirectFormatting();
  
  // Now print the cell shading after expanding table styles. A blue background pattern color
  // should have been applied from the table style
  double cellShadingAfter = table.getFirstRow().getRowFormat().getHeight();
  System.out.println("Cell shading after style expansion: " + cellShadingAfter);
  
  doc.save(getArtifactsDir() + "Document.TableStyleToDirectFormatting.docx");

  Example:

  Shows how to enumerate immediate children of a CompositeNode using the enumerator provided by the ChildNodes collection.

  paragraph.appendChild(new Run(doc, "Hello world!"));
  paragraph.appendChild(new Run(doc, " Hello again!"));
  
  NodeCollection children = paragraph.getChildNodes();
  
  // Paragraph may contain children of various types such as runs, shapes and so on
  for (Node child : (Iterable<Node>) children)
      if (((child.getNodeType()) == (NodeType.RUN))) {
          Run run = (Run) child;
          System.out.println(run.getText());
      }

• getChildNodes

  public NodeCollection getChildNodes(int nodeType, boolean isDeep)

  Returns a live collection of child nodes that match the specified type.

  The collection of nodes returned by this method is always live.

  A live collection is always in sync with the document. For example, if you selected all sections in a document and enumerate through the collection deleting the sections, the section is removed from the collection immediately when it is removed from the document.

  Parameters:

  nodeType - A NodeType value. Specifies the type of nodes to select.

  isDeep - True to select from all child nodes recursively. False to select only among immediate children.

  Returns:

  A live collection of child nodes of the specified type.

  Example:

  Shows how to get all comments with all replies.

  Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Comments.docx");
  
  // Get all comment from the document
  NodeCollection comments = doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.COMMENT, true);
  
  // For all comments and replies we identify comment level and info about it
  for (Comment comment : (Iterable<Comment>) comments) {
      if (comment.getAncestor() == null) {
          System.out.println("\nThis is a top-level comment");
          System.out.println("Comment author: " + comment.getAuthor());
          System.out.println("Comment text: " + comment.getText());
  
          for (Comment commentReply : comment.getReplies()) {
              System.out.println("\n\tThis is a comment reply");
              System.out.println("\tReply author: " + commentReply.getAuthor());

  for (Shape shape : (Iterable<Shape>) shapes) {
      if (shape.hasImage()) {
          String imageFileName = MessageFormat.format("File.ExtractImagesToFiles.{0}{1}", imageIndex,
                  FileFormatUtil.imageTypeToExtension(shape.getImageData().getImageType()));
          shape.getImageData().save(getArtifactsDir() + imageFileName);

  Assert.assertEquals(24, body.getChildNodes().indexOf(body.getLastParagraph()));

• insertAfter

  public Node insertAfter(Node newChild, Node refChild)

  Inserts the specified node immediately after the specified reference node.

  If refChild is null, inserts newChild at the beginning of the list of child nodes.

  If the newChild is already in the tree, it is first removed.

  If the node being inserted was created from another document, you should use DocumentBase.importNode(com.aspose.words.Node,boolean,int) to import the node to the current document. The imported node can then be inserted into the current document.

  Parameters:

  newChild - The Node to insert.

  refChild - The Node that is the reference node. The newNode is placed after the refNode.

  Removes all the child nodes of the current node.

  Example:

  Shows how to construct an Aspose Words document node by node.

  Document doc = new Document();
  
  // A newly created blank document still comes one section, one body and one paragraph
  // Calling this method will remove all those nodes to completely empty the document
  doc.removeAllChildren();
  
  // This document now has no composite nodes that content can be added to
  // If we wish to edit it, we will need to repopulate its node collection,
  // which we will start to do with by creating a new Section node
  Section section = new Section(doc);
  
  // Append the section to the document
  doc.appendChild(section);
  
  // Lets set some properties for the section
  section.getPageSetup().setSectionStart(SectionStart.NEW_PAGE);
  section.getPageSetup().setPaperSize(PaperSize.LETTER);
  
  // The section that we created is empty, lets populate it. The section needs at least the Body node
  Body body = new Body(doc);
  section.appendChild(body);
  
  // The body needs to have at least one paragraph
  // Note that the paragraph has not yet been added to the document, 
  // but we have to specify the parent document
  // The parent document is needed so the paragraph can correctly work
  // with styles and other document-wide information
  Paragraph para = new Paragraph(doc);
  body.appendChild(para);
  
  // We can set some formatting for the paragraph
  para.getParagraphFormat().setStyleName("Heading 1");
  para.getParagraphFormat().setAlignment(ParagraphAlignment.CENTER);
  
  // So far we have one empty paragraph in the document
  // The document is valid and can be saved, but lets add some text before saving
  // Create a new run of text and add it to our paragraph
  Run run = new Run(doc);
  run.setText("Hello World!");
  run.getFont().setColor(Color.RED);
  para.appendChild(run);
  
  Assert.assertEquals("Hello World!" + ControlChar.SECTION_BREAK_CHAR, doc.getText());

• setText

  public void setText(java.lang.String text)

  This is a convenience method that allows to easily set text of the comment.

  This method allows to quickly set text of a comment from a string. The string can contain paragraph breaks, this will create paragraphs of text in the comment accordingly. If you want to insert more complex elements into the comment, for example bookmarks or tables or apply rich formatting, then you need to use the appropriate node classes to build up the comment text.

  Parameters:

  text - The new text of the comment.

  Example:

  Shows how to add a comment with a reply to a document.

  Document doc = new Document();
  DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
  
  // Create new comment

  newComment.setText("My comment.");
  
  // Add this comment to a document node
  builder.getCurrentParagraph().appendChild(newComment);
  
  Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
  cal.set(2017, Calendar.SEPTEMBER, 25, 12, 15, 0);
  cal.getTime();

  int listParaCount = 1;
  
  for (Paragraph paragraph : (Iterable<Paragraph>) doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.PARAGRAPH, true)) {
      // Find if we have the paragraph list. In our document our list uses plain arabic numbers,
      // which start at three and ends at six
      if (paragraph.getListFormat().isListItem()) {
          System.out.println(MessageFormat.format("List item paragraph #{0}", listParaCount));
  
          // This is the text we get when actually getting when we output this node to text format
          // The list labels are not included in this text output. Trim any paragraph formatting characters
          String paragraphText = paragraph.toString(SaveFormat.TEXT).trim();
          System.out.println("Exported Text: " + paragraphText);
  
          ListLabel label = paragraph.getListLabel();
          // This gets the position of the paragraph in current level of the list. If we have a list with multiple level then this
          // will tell us what position it is on that particular level
          System.out.println("\tNumerical Id: " + label.getLabelValue());
  
          // Combine them together to include the list label with the text in the output
          System.out.println("\tList label combined with text: " + label.getLabelString() + " " + paragraphText);
  
          listParaCount++;
      }
  }

  Example:

  Exports the content of a node to String in HTML format.

  Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + "Document.docx");
  
  // Extract the last paragraph in the document to convert to HTML
  Node node = doc.getLastSection().getBody().getLastParagraph();
  
  // When ToString is called using the html SaveFormat overload then the node is converted directly to html
  Assert.assertEquals("<p style=\"margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:8pt; line-height:108%; font-size:12pt\">" +
          "<span style=\"font-family:'Times New Roman'\">Hello World!</span>" +
          "</p>", node.toString(SaveFormat.HTML));

  // GetText will retrieve all field codes and special characters
  Assert.assertEquals("\u0013MERGEFIELD Field\u0014«Field»\u0015\f", doc.getText());
  
  // ToString will give us the plaintext version of the document in the save format we put into the parameter
  Assert.assertEquals("«Field»\r\n", doc.toString(SaveFormat.TEXT));
