Usage

Word Documents (.docx)

Create and manipulate Word documents, including comments and footnotes

from wokelo_docs.docx import Document
from datetime import datetime

# Create document with comprehensive comment usage
doc = Document()

# Add content
p1 = doc.add_paragraph("This is the introduction paragraph.")
p2 = doc.add_paragraph("This paragraph contains important information.")

# Add comments to specific runs
intro_run = p1.runs[0]
intro_comment = intro_run.add_comment(
    text="Consider expanding this introduction",
    author="Reviewer 1",
    initials="R1",
    dtime=datetime.now().isoformat()
)

important_run = p2.runs[0]
important_comment = important_run.add_comment(
    text="This needs fact-checking",
    author="Editor",
    initials="ED"
)

# Save and later read comments
doc.save('reviewed_document.docx')

# Read comments back
doc2 = Document('reviewed_document.docx')
for paragraph in doc2.paragraphs:
    for run in paragraph.runs:
        if run.comments:
            for comment in run.comments:
                print(f"{comment.author}: {comment.text}")

PowerPoint Presentations (.pptx)

Create and update PowerPoint presentations, suitable for dynamic content or automation.

from wokelo_docs.pptx import Presentation
from wokelo_docs.pptx.enum.shapes import MSO_SHAPE
from wokelo_docs.pptx.util import Inches

prs = Presentation()
slide = prs.slides.add_slide(prs.slide_layouts[0])

# Create individual shapes first
shape1 = slide.shapes.add_shape(MSO_SHAPE.RECTANGLE, Inches(1), Inches(1), Inches(1), Inches(1))
shape2 = slide.shapes.add_shape(MSO_SHAPE.OVAL, Inches(2.5), Inches(1), Inches(1), Inches(1))
shape3 = slide.shapes.add_shape(MSO_SHAPE.TRIANGLE, Inches(1.75), Inches(2.5), Inches(1), Inches(1))

# Create a group with the shapes
group = slide.shapes.add_group_shape([shape1, shape2, shape3])

# The group automatically calculates its extents based on contained shapes
print(f"Group position: ({group.left}, {group.top})")
print(f"Group size: {group.width} x {group.height}")

# Add more shapes to the group
group_shapes = group.shapes
new_shape = group_shapes.add_shape(
    MSO_SHAPE.STAR_5_POINT,
    Inches(0.5),  # Relative to group
    Inches(0.5),
    Inches(0.5),
    Inches(0.5)
)

prs.save('presentation_with_groups.pptx')
