In the previous tutorial, we created a paragraph with some plain text, now, we will style it a little.
Till now, we saw two classes:
ODT: Create the needed xml files required for a valid odt document.Paragraph: Represents a paragraph in the document.We will introduce a new class: TextStyle, which let us change the text properties, such as color, size, alignment, etc.
First, as always, include the file phpodt.php, and create an instance of the ODT class.
include 'phpodt-0.3/phpodt.php'; $odt = ODT::getInstance();
Before we create a paragraph, we first create a TextStyle object, specify the changes that we want to make, then pass the created TextStyle object to the method addText of the class Paragraph.
$textStyle = new TextStyle('textstyle1'); //You can omit the name, but it's better to specify one
$textStyle->setColor('#ff0000'); //Change the color of the text to red. The color must be in hexadecimal notation
$textStyle->setBold(); //Make the text bold
$textStyle->setFontSize('15px'); //Change the font size
//....
Next, we create our paragraph, and we call addText with the text we want to insert, and the styles we want to apply to that text.
$styledParagraph = new Paragraph();
$styledParagraph->addText('Hello World!! with style.', $textStyle);
Finally, we write the document.
$odt->output('helloworldstyle.odt');
include 'phpodt-0.3/phpodt.php';
$odt = ODT::getInstance();
$textStyle = new TextStyle('textstyle1'); //You can the name, but it's better to specify one
$textStyle->setColor('#ff6600'); //Change the color of the text to red. The color must be in hexa notation
$textStyle->setBold(); //Make the text bold
$textStyle->setFontSize(15); //Change the font size
$styledParagraph = new Paragraph();
$styledParagraph->addText('Hello World!! with style.', $textStyle);
$odt->output('helloworldstyle.odt');
