addList

TRIAL / ADVANCED / PREMIUM

Inserts (nested) lists into the Word document.

Description
public addList (array $itemList [, mixed $styleType[, array $options]] )

This method allows the insertion of lists (numbered or with bullets) into your Word document.

You may also include nested lists by means of nested arrays of data and fully customize its contents with the use of WordML fragments.

The following style types are always available:

  • Clear: with no bullet or indentation. This is the default value.
  • Unordered: the standard bulleted list of Word or HTML ul tag.
  • Ordered: the standard ordered list of Word or HTML ol tag.

You may also check all the current available lists styles of your phpdocx base template by means of the parseStyles method. This method returns a Word document including the required phpdocx code to insert the lists that are generated within that document.

You may also use the list styles created via the createListStyle method using the name you gave to your custom list.
