Class ParagraphWrapper

java.lang.Object
org.wickedsource.docxstamper.util.ParagraphWrapper
public class ParagraphWrapper extends Object
A "Run" defines a region of text within a docx document with a common set of properties. Word processors are relatively free in splitting a paragraph of text into multiple runs, so there is no strict rule to say over how many runs a word or a string of words is spread.

This class aggregates multiple runs so they can be treated as a single text, no matter how many runs the text spans. Call addRun() to add all runs that should be aggregated. Then, call methods to modify the aggregated text. Finally, call getText() or getRuns() to get the modified text or the list of modified runs.
