Topic: List with different textalign of items

Posted by LawCarta · 25-01-2017 - 07:02

Hello Everyone

Please help me to solve my problem. I want to add list with 5 items, and I want to align 1st one by right side, so my code:

$textFragment->addText('someText', ['textAlign' => 'right']);
$itemList = array(
    $textFragment,
    'Line 2',
    'Line 3',
    'Line 4',
    'Line 5'
);
$docx->addList($itemList, 1);

But "textAlign" option is ignored in this case. Also I check inlineWordML() method and I found that Word XML with alignment is cut here. If I add "bold" option - I can see it in rawML, but alignment is ignored. So, maybe I'm wrong with it, please help me to find a solution.

Hello,

When you create a list, all paragraphs share the same styles (in Word lists are paragraphs with a style and a level). You have four ways to accomplish what you need:

Add two lists with distinct aligns
Use a custom list style and the importListStyle method
Use a template
Use the useWordFragmentStyles option. This option allows to overwrite the default styles using a paragraph style. This example is included in the package (addList folder):

<?php

require_once 'classes/CreateDocx.inc';

$docx = new CreateDocx();

$item1 = new WordFragment($docx);
$item1->addText('Line 1', array('pStyle' => 'Heading1PHPDOCX'));
$item2 = new WordFragment($docx);
$item2->addText('Line 2', array('pStyle' => 'Heading2PHPDOCX'));
$item3 = new WordFragment($docx);
$item3->addText('Line 3', array('pStyle' => 'Heading3PHPDOCX'));

$itemList = array(
    $item1,
    $item2,
    $item3,
);

$docx->addList($itemList, 1, array('useWordFragmentStyles' => true));

$docx->createDocx('example_addList_5');

Regards.

Thanks, I updated library to version 6.5 and I really found this example (in 6.0 there were only 4 examples for lists).

I think it solves my problem. Thank you!
