| new_child | Node | The node to add. |
Remarks
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.import_node() to import the node to the current document. The imported node can then be inserted into the current document.
Returns
The node added.
Examples
Shows how to construct an Aspose.Words document by hand.
doc = aw.Document()
# A blank document contains one section, one body and one paragraph.
# Call the "RemoveAllChildren" method to remove all those nodes,
# and end up with a document node with no children.
doc.remove_all_children()
# This document now has no composite child nodes that we can add content to.
# If we wish to edit it, we will need to repopulate its node collection.
# First, create a new section, and then append it as a child to the root document node.
section = aw.Section(doc)
doc.append_child(section)
# Set some page setup properties for the section.
section.page_setup.section_start = aw.SectionStart.NEW_PAGE
section.page_setup.paper_size = aw.PaperSize.LETTER
# A section needs a body, which will contain and display all its contents
# on the page between the section's header and footer.
body = aw.Body(doc)
section.append_child(body)
# Create a paragraph, set some formatting properties, and then append it as a child to the body.
para = aw.Paragraph(doc)
para.paragraph_format.style_name = 'Heading 1'
para.paragraph_format.alignment = aw.ParagraphAlignment.CENTER
body.append_child(para)
# Finally, add some content to do the document. Create a run,
# set its appearance and contents, and then append it as a child to the paragraph.
run = aw.Run(doc=doc)
run.text = 'Hello World!'
run.font.color = aspose.pydrawing.Color.red
para.append_child(run)
self.assertEqual('Hello World!', doc.get_text().strip())
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'Section.CreateManually.docx')
