Base Class

We provide a base class to extend from. This class will provide you a predefined FieldPanel for the File, has the allow_styling attribute and a custom method to set the content to the right field for you to override.

# Example class
class WordDocumentPage(BaseWordDocumentPage):
    template = 'wagtail_word/page.html'

    content = RichTextField(
        blank=True,
        null=True,
        features=[
            # Minimal required features for richtext
            "h1", "h2", "h3", "h4", "h5", "h6", 
            "bold", "italic", "ol", "ul", "link" "image", "embed", 
            "blockquote",
        ]
    )

    edit_panels = [
        FieldPanel('content'),
    ]

    edit_handler = TabbedInterface([
        ObjectList(BaseWordDocumentPage.content_panels, heading=_('Upload')),
        ObjectList(edit_panels, heading=_('Edit')),
        ...
    ])
    
    # Override this method to set the content to the right field
    def set_content(self, content: str):
        self.content = content
