Styles collection

Candidate protocols

Access:

>>> styles = document.styles  # default styles part added if not present
>>> styles
<docx.styles.styles.Styles object at 0x1045dd550>

Iteration and length:

>>> len(styles)
10
>>> list_styles = [s for s in styles if s.type == WD_STYLE_TYPE.LIST]
>>> len(list_styles)
3

Access style by name (or style id):

>>> styles['Normal']
<docx.styles.style._ParagraphStyle object at 0x1045dd550>

>>> styles['undefined-style']
KeyError: no style with id or name 'undefined-style'

Styles.add_style():

>>> style = styles.add_style('Citation', WD_STYLE_TYPE.PARAGRAPH)
>>> style.name
'Citation'
>>> style.type
PARAGRAPH (1)
>>> style.builtin
False

Feature Notes

  • could add a default builtin style from known specs on first access via WD_BUILTIN_STYLE enumeration:

    >>> style = document.styles['Heading1']
    KeyError: no style with id or name 'Heading1'
    >>> style = document.styles[WD_STYLE.HEADING_1]
    >>> assert style == document.styles['Heading1']
