I have been trying to fill up a word template(.docx) file which has placeholders which needs to be replaced.
I was able to rewrite the template but the text does not come with line breaks I understand that carriage return or new line (\r\n) does not work in .docx files. I used the VariableReplace method to convert but I was unable to place br or factory.createBr() while using the variable replace.
Any suggestions would be really helpful. Below is the piece of code what i tried
Map<String,String> variableReplaceMap = new HashMap<>();
Map<String, String> textContent = readTextContentAfterDBExtractionToFillUpTemplate();
ObjectFactory factory = Context.getWmlObjectFactory();
P para = factory.createP();
R rspc = factory.createR();
String power= textContent.get("Power & Energy");
String[] powerWithNewLine = skills.split("\\\\n");
for (String eachLineOfPower : powerWithNewLine) {
Text eachLineOfPowerTxt = factory.createText();
eachLineOfPowerTxt .setValue( eachLineOfPower );
rspc.getContent().add( eachLineOfPowerTxt );
Br br = factory.createBr();
rspc.getContent().add(br);
para.getParagraphContent().add(rspc);
documentPart.addObject(para);
}
String str = "";
for (Object eachLineOfPgrph : para.getParagraphContent()) {
str = str + eachLineOfPgrph;
}
variableReplaceMap.put("POWER", str);
return variableReplaceMap;
