Unlike CSS, less specific rules don't _necessarily_ override parent rules. The rules are a bit wonky, but if you're interested, see the [advanced formatting section](#Advanced formatting).

This is the type of formatting that your uncle uses when he types out documents: _N ... a ... m ... e ... :_ Then he grabs the mouse, highlights _Name:_ and moves over to the **B** for bold. This manner of formatting results in markup that is similar to writing `<span style="bold: true">Name:</span>` if you were typing out HTML. DOCX (the format) allows you to specify this for any of the four types of items. `docx` (the library) only supports this type of formatting for paragraphs and characters, using a _fluent_ api.

DOCX files contain a styles section separate from the main content, much like how HTML includes CSS files. Unlike CSS, DOCX distinguishes between styles meant for tables (which show up in the table formatting toolbar), styles for lists (which show up under bullets and numbering), and styles for runs and paragraphs, which show up as dropdowns offering standard styles, like "Heading 1", "Caption", or any custom styles defined in that document. <!-- TODO: add pictures of the panes -->. `docx` allows you to define these styles using a fluent interface as well.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are three parts to using custom styles with `docx`:
|
|
|
|
|
To add styles, define your custom styles in the `document`:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Create a container object for the style definitions:
|
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
|
|
|
const myStyles = new docx.Styles();
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
2. Define your custom styles, similar to the way you would format a paragraph or run
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
|
|
|
// The first argument is an ID you use to apply the style to paragraphs
|
|
|
|
|
// The second argument is a human-friendly name to show in the UI
|
|
|
|
|
myStyles
|
|
|
|
|
.createParagraphStyle("myWonkyStyle", "My Wonky Style")
|
|
|
|
|
.basedOn("Normal")
|
|
|
|
|
.next("Normal")
|
|
|
|
|
.color("999999")
|
|
|
|
|
.italics()
|
|
|
|
|
.indent(720) // 720 TWIP === 720 / 20 pt === .5 in
|
|
|
|
|
.spacing({ line: 276 }); // 276 / 240 = 1.15x line spacing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
myStyles
|
|
|
|
|
.createParagraphStyle("Heading2", "Heading 2")
|
|
|
|
|
.basedOn("Normal")
|
|
|
|
|
.next("Normal")
|
|
|
|
|
.quickFormat()
|
|
|
|
|
.size(26) // 26 half-points === 13pt font
|
|
|
|
|
.bold()
|
|
|
|
|
.underline("double", "FF0000")
|
|
|
|
|
.spacing({ before: 240, after: 120 }); // TWIP for both
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. When you generate your document, make sure to pass the `styles` container to the `Packer`:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
|
|
|
Packer.pack(myOutStream);
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
|
|
|
// The first argument is an ID you use to apply the style to paragraphs
|
|
|
|
|
// The second argument is a human-friendly name to show in the UI
|
