List of Tables and Tables of Figures

[ghost]

Hi,

I was trying to find in the library a way to insert "List of Tables" and "List of Figures" in a similar way that I do for table of contents. I was searching around and I couldn't find anything on that. It seems as if I have to do it from scratch.

For table of contents we have:

WordprocessingMLPackage docx = WordprocessingMLPackage.createPackage();
TocGenerator tocGen = new TocGenerator(docx);
Toc.setTocHeadingText("My Title");
tocGen.generateToc( 0, " TOC \\o \"1-3\" \\h \\z \\u ", false);
tocGen.updateToc(false);

Is there anything similar for "list of tables" and "table of figures"?

Hey Symeon, did you get anywhere with this? I'm looking for the same thing.

Unfortunately not....I created custom in html and inserted to docx without pagination

Sad to hear but thanks a lot for your response! Sadly this this requires us to use a workaround as well. In our case:

If your system has Word installed you can use powershell _Document interface to add the tables

Hi Symeon,
I have a map with lists as values. These contain first names and surnames, for example. I would like to insert all surnames with a variable, as I would like to have all participants for an event listed in a document.
I think your problem is very similar, isn't it? And docx4j doesn't offer any support for this, right?

Hello Mieges, it sounds like you are looking for a regular table. I'm sure docx4j supports this. This thread is about the index of all tables of the document.

Table of figures is just a TOC with \c flag.

    <w:instrText xml:space="preserve"> TOC \h \z \c "Figure" </w:instrText>

The caption numbers are SEQ field. Please have a look at http://webapp.docx4java.org/OnlineDemo/ecma376/WordML/SEQ.html

Now implemented in docx4j, and to be part of a docx4j 11.5.4 release:

• TOC supports the C switch: https://github.com/plutext/docx4j/blob/VERSION_11_5_4/docx4j-core/src/main/java/org/docx4j/toc/switches/CSwitch.java

• You can renumber captions (SEQ fields): https://github.com/plutext/docx4j/blob/VERSION_11_5_4/docx4j-core/src/main/java/org/docx4j/model/fields/seq/FieldUpdaterSEQ.java and see example https://github.com/plutext/docx4j/blob/VERSION_11_5_4/docx4j-samples-docx4j/src/main/java/org/docx4j/samples/FieldUpdaterSEQExample.java (you can do this after you have merged documents)

• ARABIC, roman and Roman numbering is supported: https://github.com/plutext/docx4j/blob/VERSION_11_5_4/docx4j-core/src/main/java/org/docx4j/model/fields/FormattingSwitchHelper.java#L745
