Standardized formatting methods about docx

[dolanmiu]

Right now there are multiple places

but .bold() and .font(fontName: string) can only be called from Run though. I don't fully understand

[felipeochoa]

Yeah that's precisely the issue. Paragraph.bold() should work, since DOCX allows setting the property paragraph-wide; ditto tables. We should also have RunStyle object with a .bold() method, and should add it to ParagraphStyle

[dolanmiu]

Does the office xml documentation even allow applying bold to paragraphs?

I assumed all that stuff was only available to the run. I could be (and hope that I am) wrong!

[felipeochoa]

I could have sworn there was an element for "paragraph run-style properties", but looking through the spec now it looks like I was wrong! I think I just got confused with the paragraph styles, which do indeed have a separate section for run-styles. So you can, e.g., define ListParagraph to be indentend and bold.

If bold is only available in the run, we would in future make .bold() in the Paragraph object which manually adds bold to all the Runs, which will make it less tedious for the user

Otherwise the user would have to .bold() every time, which might not be fun

But this is non-priority though, I don't see much reason for a user to bold an entire paragraph, it will look weird maybe 😂 . I don't think I've ever needed to bold an entire paragraph in any essay/dissertation I wrote
