    Afternoon,

    I am trying to achieve something like this: 

    Test -> AddText WF

    • Foo -> AddList WF
    • Foo
    • Foo​

    Test2

    • Foo
    • Foo

     

    $event_wf = new WordFragment($phpdocx, 'document');
        $paragraphOptions = array(
            'lineBreak' => 'after',
            'bold' => 'true',
        );
        $itemList = array(
            'Line 1',
            'Line 2',
            'Line 3',
            'Line 4',
            'Line 5'
        );
        foreach ($events as $key => $value) {
            $wf = new WordFragment($phpdocx, 'document');
            $wf->addText($value->AccordianLabel, $paragraphOptions);
            $events_array[] = $wf;

            $wf_bullets = new WordFragment($phpdocx, 'document');
            $wf_bullets->addList($itemList, 1);
            $events_array[] = $wf_bullets;
        }

        $event_wf->addText($events_array);
        
        $phpdocx->replaceVariableByWordFragment(array('DATA_EVENTS' => $event_wf));

    The problem is my output is like this: 

    Test
    FOOFOOFOOTest2
    FOOFOO

    So the list isn't working. Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello,

    Using the following line:

    $event_wf->addText($events_array);

    all contents are added as inline (block tags are removed).

    To accomplish the required task, you need to use a single WordFragment, where you add all content, instead of grouping them with addText:

    $event_wf = new WordFragment($phpdocx, 'document');
$event_wf->addText('Text');
$itemList = array(
    'Line 1', // you can add text strings or WordFragments if needed
    'Line 2',
    'Line 3',
    'Line 4',
    'Line 5'
);
$event_wf->addList($itemList, 1);
$event_wf->addText('More text');
$event_wf->addList($itemList, 1);

$docx->replaceVariableByWordFragment(array('DATA_EVENTS' => $event_wf));

    WordFragments are very flexible and they allow adding a single content or group of contents.

    Regards.
