allow_negative_indent property

HtmlSaveOptions.allow_negative_indent property

Specifies whether negative left and right indents of paragraphs are normalized when saving to HTML, MHTML or EPUB. Default value is False.

@property
def allow_negative_indent(self) -> bool:
    ...

@allow_negative_indent.setter
def allow_negative_indent(self, value: bool):
    ...

Remarks

When negative indent is not allowed, it is exported as zero margin to HTML. When negative indent is allowed, a paragraph might appear partially outside of the browser window.

Examples

Shows how to preserve negative indents in the output .html.

doc = aw.Document()
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc=doc)
# Insert a table with a negative indent, which will push it to the left past the left page boundary.
table = builder.start_table()
builder.insert_cell()
builder.write('Row 1, Cell 1')
builder.insert_cell()
builder.write('Row 1, Cell 2')
builder.end_table()
table.left_indent = -36
table.preferred_width = aw.tables.PreferredWidth.from_points(144)
builder.insert_break(aw.BreakType.PARAGRAPH_BREAK)
# Insert a table with a positive indent, which will push the table to the right.
table = builder.start_table()
builder.insert_cell()
builder.write('Row 1, Cell 1')
builder.insert_cell()
builder.write('Row 1, Cell 2')
builder.end_table()
table.left_indent = 36
table.preferred_width = aw.tables.PreferredWidth.from_points(144)
# When we save a document to HTML, Aspose.Words will only preserve negative indents
# such as the one we have applied to the first table if we set the "AllowNegativeIndent" flag
# in a SaveOptions object that we will pass to "true".
