NAME

Document::OOXML::Part::WordprocessingML - WordprocessingML document part handling

VERSION

version 0.180740

ATTRIBUTES

xml

XML::LibXML::Document containing the parsed XML of the WordprocessingML part.

xpc

XML::LibXML::XPathContext that will be used to find elements in the WordprocessingML.

METHODS

new_from_xml($part_name, $xml, $strict)

Create a new instance based on XML data.

find_text_nodes($regex, $exclude_tables)

Returns a list of <w:t> elements (see XML::LibXML::Element) matching the regular expression.

First, all adjacent identical runs are merged (see "merge_runs"), then all text elements are matched against the regular expression. The runs with matching text are then split into "pre-match", "match" and "post-match" parts. The "match" parts are then returned.

This regular expression should not contain matching groups, as this will confuse the splitting code.

If $exclude_tables is true, the regular expression will not match text in tables. This option may change in the future.

style_text($regex, %style)

Sets the style options described by %style to all text parts of the document that match regular expression $regex.

Internally, this method uses "find_text_nodes" to do the heavy lifting of combining and splitting runs.

The regular expression should not contain matching groups, as this will confuse the splitting code.

The following style options are recognised (all are optional, but why would you call this method if you don't want to set/unset styling?):

  • bold

    Boolean value. If true, matching text will be made bold. If specified and false, matching text will be un-bolded.

  • italic

    Boolean value. If true, matching text will be made italic. If specified and false, matching text will be un-italiced.

  • color

    Color value, matching text will be given this color.

    Colors should be in the format: RRGGBB (red, green, blue components in hexadecimal, like used in HTML). The special value auto can be used to let the word processor decide the color.

    Note: unlike HTML, the color value should NOT be prefixed with "#". It should just be the six hexadecimal digits.

  • exclude_tables

    Boolean value. If true, text in tables will not be touched.

remove_spellcheck_markers

Remove all <w:proofErr> elements from the document. This removes the red "squigglies" until another spelling/grammar check is done.

extract_words

Extract a list of words form the document.

Returns a reference to an array containing the words.

merge_runs

Walks over all runs (<w:r>) in the document. If two adjacent runs in the same paragraph have identical properties, the contents of the second run are merged into the first run.

This makes it easier to find stretches of text for search/replace.

replace_text($search, $replace)

Replace all occurrences of $search with $replace in every text (<w:t>) element in the document.

Does not yet follow references, so text in headers, footers and other external parts of the document isn't changed.
