Create and Use a Style for an Unordered List in a Template

Create an unordered list style in a template and then apply that style in your document.

Create the Style

Import the DOM API namespace so that you do not have to use long, fully qualified names.

import mlreportgen.dom.*;

Create and open a template.

t = Template("myTemplate","pdf");
open(t);

Create a list style.

listStyle = TemplateUnorderedListStyle("myUnorderedListStyle");

Define formats for the list style.

listStyle.Formats = [Bold, Color("blue")];

Add style to the stylesheet.

addStyle(t.Stylesheet,listStyle);

Close the template.

close(t);

Use the Style from the Template

Create a document using the generated template.

d = Document("myDoc","pdf","myTemplate");
open(d);

Create a list object.

list = UnorderedList(["item 1", "item 2"]);

Set the style name.

list.StyleName = "myUnorderedListStyle";
