Hey,
First of all great project!
I just have a question regarding accessing lists (bullet points) within tables. Basically, I have many documents that are comprised of tables that have identical structure (rows / columns etc) and I'm trying to extract all data from all tables from multiple documents in a meaningful way. The problem is some cells contain bullet points (lists). Is there any way to get all text in a table cell with one method?
From some testing, it appears if I use get_value / get_values it doesn't return the text that is part of the List.
yes, .value will try to cast to a basic type python type (typically a sting or a number)
However, I can use get_cells --> get_lists to extract the text, but I would need to check for the presence of
here it depends of the nature of your documents:
- apparently you have some nested ODF elements into the cell, so the right methods is to analyse it step by step. So making lines of code, using get_cells --> get_lists and such. Note that get_lists should send back None if no list.
- To retrieve text content at the risk of losing some structure, I would try cell.text() cell.text_recursive() or cell.text_content() (i think the later one is the more powerful).
any lists for each cell. Lastly, I could also use get_styled_elements for
each cell, but this might get tricky.
What would you recommend? Thank you in advance and keep up the excellent work.
