-
- // Add a table with one column and two rows, note that each cell has one default paragraph
- // when the table is created, so we add template tags to those already existing paragraphs:
- var table = doc.Body.Tables.Add(1, 2, doc.Styles[BuiltInStyleId.ColorfulShadingAccent1]);
- // The first row is used to print the ocean's name:
- table[0, 0].GetRange().Paragraphs.First.GetRange().Runs.Add("{{#ds}}{{ds.name}}");
- // The second row prints the ocean's seas range. Using the 'pbb' (paragraph-block-b) formatter
- // allows us to print all items in the range (seas) inside the same single cell rather than
- // generating a row per each item:
- table[1, 0].GetRange().Paragraphs.First.GetRange().Runs.Add("{{#ds.seas}:pbb()}{{ds.seas.name}}{{/ds.seas}}");
-
- // Close the parent range '#ds':
- doc.Body.Paragraphs.Add("{{/ds}}");
-
- // Process the template:
- doc.DataTemplate.Process(CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-US"));
