Element generator

Creates a flowable based on a given string. Check the element function to see the available elements. Arguments are given inside brackets separated by pipelines (|).

# Generates a Image flowable with 25 mm of width
generators.element('image[logo.jpg|25]')

# Generates a FrameBreak flowable
generators.element('framebreak')

Chapter generator

Creates a list of flowables passing any number of string arguments.

generators.chapter('Paragraph[Cat in the hat]', 'image[hat.jpg|25]')

# Passing a string that is not a valid flowable keyword or anything that is not a string will do nothing
# So you can mix chapter generator with another one at once
generators.chapter('hello', [1, 2, 3]) # will return ['hello', [1, 2, 3]]
