Description

The mlreportgen.dom.TemplateStylesheet class contains the styles for a mlreportgen.dom.Template object. On opening, the mlreportgen.dom.Template creates an instance of mlreportgen.dom.TemplateStylesheet in its Stylesheet property. Creating the mlreportgen.dom.Template object, which is based on the source template document, automatically populates its Stylesheet property with the styles already present in the source template. Use the methods of this class to add, remove, or replace styles. The parent mlreportgen.dom.Template object generates all styles in the TemplateStylesheet object in the resulting template document.

Note

DOM format classes such as mlreportgen.dom.Bold and mlreportgen.dom.Color define the formatting for new styles. DOM template style classes do not support these formatting classes:

  • ListStyleType

  • NumberFormat

  • OutlineLevel

  • ScaleToFit

DOM template style classes for DOCX template output do not support these DOM format classes:

  • CounterInc

  • CounterReset

  • FlowDirection (supported for TemplateParagraphStyle only)

  • Height

  • ResizeToFitContents

  • RowHeight

  • TextOrientation

  • Width

  • WhiteSpace

The mlreportgen.dom.TemplateStylesheet class is a handle class.

Open Live Script

Add stylesheet content to a new template.

Import the DOM API namespace so you do not have to include the fully qualified names. 

import mlreportgen.dom.*

Create a DOCX template.

t = Template("bookReportTemplate","docx");
open(t);

Create a text style.

textStyle = TemplateTextStyle("exampleTextStyle");

Format the text style.

textStyle.Formats = [Bold(true),Color("red")];

Add the text style to the stylesheet.

stylesheet = t.Stylesheet;
addStyle(stylesheet,textStyle);

close(t);
Open Live Script

View an existing style in a DOCX template, create a new style with modifications to that style, and replace the existing style with the modified style.

Create a DOCX Template and Examine the Default Style

Import the DOM API namespace so you do not have to use fully qualified names.

import mlreportgen.dom.*

Create a template using the default DOCX template.

t = Template("myTemplate","docx");

Open the template and check if the "rgMATLABTABLE" style exists.

open(t);
stylesheet = t.Stylesheet;
tableStyle = getStyle(stylesheet,"rgMATLABTABLE")
tableStyle = 
  TemplateDOCXStyle with properties:

       Name: 'rgMATLABTABLE'
       Type: 'table'
    Formats: []
        Tag: 'dom.TemplateDOCXStyle:1738'
         Id: '1738'

Open the source template in Microsoft® Word.

rptview(t.TemplatePath);

Open the source template in Word. In Word, inspect the "Title" style in the source DOCX template.

Create a Modified Style and Replace the Default Style

Create a new table style named "rgMATLABTABLE".

newTableStyle = TemplateTableStyle("rgMATLABTABLE");

Define formats similar to the style from the source template by using the same font, line spacing, and widow and orphan handling.

oldFormats = [LineSpacing(1),FontFamily("Calibri"),WidowOrphanControl];

Leave a 15-point space after the table.

om = OuterMargin;
om.Bottom = "15pt";
oldFormats(end + 1) = om;

Define a format that gives the table a solid border.

newFormat = Border("solid","blue");

Set the formats of the new style.

newTableStyle.Formats = [oldFormats,newFormat];

Replace the old style with the new style.

replaceStyle(stylesheet,newTableStyle);

Close the template.

close(t);
rptview(t);
