Hi,

i’m trying to implement a certain list-format:

(1) dobedooo

**(a) dobedoo dam dam

____(i) damdam doobeee**

(b) damdam

…

( i added the “_” for showing the indents )

well and that’s my code for that:

[…]

// Create a list based on a template.
List list = doc.getLists().add(ListTemplate.NUMBER_DEFAULT);
// Completely customize one list level.
ListLevel level1 = list.getListLevels().get(0);
level1.setStartAt(1);
level1.setNumberFormat("(\u0000)");
level1.setAlignment(0);
level1.setNumberPosition(0);
// Completely customize one list level.
ListLevel level2 = list.getListLevels().get(1);
level2.setNumberStyle(NumberStyle.LOWERCASE_LETTER);
level2.setStartAt(1);
level2.setNumberFormat("(\u0000)");
level2.setAlignment(0);
// Completely customize one list level.
ListLevel level3 = list.getListLevels().get(2);
level3.setNumberStyle(NumberStyle.LOWERCASE_ROMAN);
level3.setStartAt(1);
level3.setNumberFormat("(\u0000)");
level3.setAlignment(0);
builder.getListFormat().setListLevelNumber(0);
builder.getListFormat().setList(list);
builder.writeln("dobedoo");
builder.getListFormat().setListLevelNumber(1);
builder.writeln("dobedoo dam dam");
builder.getListFormat().setListLevelNumber(2);
builder.writeln("damdam dobedoo");
builder.getListFormat().setListLevelNumber(1);
builder.writeln("damdam");
builder.getListFormat().setListLevelNumber(0);
builder.write("...");
builder.getListFormat().removeNumbers();

[…]

the result is attached!

what am I doing wrong here ?

thanks and best regards.

Hi

Thanks for your request. I modified your code. I highlighted places where you made a mistake.

// Create docuemnt and DocumentBuilder.
Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
// Create a list based on a template.
List list = doc.getLists().add(ListTemplate.NUMBER_DEFAULT);
// Completely customize one list level.
ListLevel level1 = list.getListLevels().get(0);
level1.setStartAt(1);
level1.setNumberFormat("(\u0000)");
level1.setAlignment(0);
level1.setNumberPosition(0);
// Completely customize one list level.
ListLevel level2 = list.getListLevels().get(1);
level2.setNumberStyle(NumberStyle.LOWERCASE_LETTER);
level2.setStartAt(1);
level2.setNumberFormat("(\u0001)");
level2.setAlignment(0);
// Completely customize one list level.
ListLevel level3 = list.getListLevels().get(2);
level3.setNumberStyle(NumberStyle.LOWERCASE_ROMAN);
level3.setStartAt(1);
level3.setNumberFormat("(\u0002)");
level3.setAlignment(0);
builder.getListFormat().setListLevelNumber(0);
builder.getListFormat().setList(list);
builder.writeln("dobedoo");
builder.getListFormat().setListLevelNumber(1);
builder.writeln("dobedoo dam dam");
builder.getListFormat().setListLevelNumber(2);
builder.writeln("damdam dobedoo");
builder.getListFormat().setListLevelNumber(1);
builder.writeln("damdam");
builder.getListFormat().setListLevelNumber(0);
builder.write("...");
builder.getListFormat().removeNumbers();
// Save result.
doc.save("C:\\Temp\\out.doc");

Hope this helps.
Best regards.

Hi Alexey,

thanks a lot - that’s it ! I just found that one sample in the documentation with the setNumberFormat() thing and didn’t recognize that this is dependet on the listlevel !

Best regards,

Christian

Hi Christian,
We will look into making that clearer in the documentation in the future. Thank you for bringing that to our attention.
Thanks,
