Examples

Shows how to nest a list inside another list.

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// A list allows us to organize and decorate sets of paragraphs with prefix symbols and indents.
// We can create nested lists by increasing the indent level. 
// We can begin and end a list by using a document builder's "ListFormat" property. 
// Each paragraph that we add between a list's start and the end will become an item in the list.
// Create an outline list for the headings.
List outlineList = doc.Lists.Add(ListTemplate.OutlineNumbers);
builder.ListFormat.List = outlineList;
builder.ParagraphFormat.StyleIdentifier = StyleIdentifier.Heading1;
builder.Writeln("This is my Chapter 1");

// Create a numbered list.
List numberedList = doc.Lists.Add(ListTemplate.NumberDefault);
builder.ListFormat.List = numberedList;
builder.ParagraphFormat.StyleIdentifier = StyleIdentifier.Normal;
builder.Writeln("Numbered list item 1.");

// Every paragraph that comprises a list will have this flag.
Assert.True(builder.CurrentParagraph.IsListItem);
Assert.True(builder.ParagraphFormat.IsListItem);

// Create a bulleted list.
List bulletedList = doc.Lists.Add(ListTemplate.BulletDefault);
builder.ListFormat.List = bulletedList;
builder.ParagraphFormat.LeftIndent = 72;
builder.Writeln("Bulleted list item 1.");
builder.Writeln("Bulleted list item 2.");
builder.ParagraphFormat.ClearFormatting();

// Revert to the numbered list.
builder.ListFormat.List = numberedList;
builder.Writeln("Numbered list item 2.");
builder.Writeln("Numbered list item 3.");

// Revert to the outline list.
builder.ListFormat.List = outlineList;
builder.ParagraphFormat.StyleIdentifier = StyleIdentifier.Heading1;
builder.Writeln("This is my Chapter 2");

builder.ParagraphFormat.ClearFormatting();
