[DISCUSS] Adding a Text Sequence in TextDocument

[Adam Parker]

Hi All,

I have been reading through the JavaDoc and source code over the last 
few days to try and get an understanding of how the API works.

I have managed some good success stories, but I'm sure that I'm doing it 
wrong and there is a much easier way.

I am trying to add a text-sequence to a TextDocument.  A simple 
1,2,3.....type sequence.

That entails adding a reference to the TextSequenceDeclsElement and then 
outputting a TextSequence each time for it's use (within a 
<text:p>...</text:p> element.

Here is my code:

            td = TextDocument.newTextDocument();
            OdfContentDom contentDom = td.getContentDom();
            XPath xpath = contentDom.getXPath();
            TextSequenceDeclsElement para = (TextSequenceDeclsElement) 
xpath.evaluate("//text:sequence-decls", contentDom, XPathConstants.NODE);
            TextSequenceDeclElement el = new 
TextSequenceDeclElement(contentDom);
            el.setTextDisplayOutlineLevelAttribute(0);
            el.setTextNameAttribute("myCounter");
            para.appendChild(el);


            int count = 0;
            TextPElement tpe = new TextPElement(contentDom);
            TextSequenceElement seq = new TextSequenceElement(contentDom);
            seq.setTextRefNameAttribute("refMyCounter" + count);
            seq.setTextFormulaAttribute("ooow:MyCounter+1");
            seq.setTextNameAttribute("MyCounter");
            seq.setStyleNumFormatAttribute("1");
            seq.newTextNode(String.valueOf(count+1));
            tpe.appendChild(seq);
            Paragraph p1 = td.addParagraph("Test");
            td.insertOdfElement(p1.getOdfElement(), (Document)td, 
(OdfElement)tpe, true);

This works.  Believe it or not.  My last problem was I could add the 
TextSequenceElement but had to enclose it within a TextPElement in order 
for it to be visible.  It was in the content.xml file but wasn't 
registering.
