Allow setting number of columns for paragraph
First of all, thank you for maintaining this crate! It is really useful!
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I am trying to create a document that contains both paragraphs with one and two columns. See the screenshot below for an example.
In my understanding, that can be achieved by setting section property for paragraph property. The problem is that while docx-rs supports setting section property, it is not included in the resulting XML.
Describe the solution you'd like
Include section property in the resulting XML of paragraph property.
Describe alternatives you've considered
It does not seem that there are any alternative solutions here. If I missed something, please let me know!
Additional context
Please let me know what you think about possible solutions, and I will be happy to submit an MR for this!
Thank you!
There is also Section, but it seems there is no way available to add it to the document and to access the property
to update SectionProperty
values.
@nikitavbv Thanks. I'll consider about it. If it is possible, cloud you please provide sample docx?
@bokuweb Sure! Please see the attached file (I created it using Word). example.docx
If you check how the resulting XML looks like, you may notice that Word adds empty paragraphs with a section property that
indicates how many columns are used in the preceding text:
