I'm writing a script to parse a Google Sheet and format the cells nicely on a Doc. I'd like the cell data from column 1 to always be bold and the cell data from column 6 to always be Italic. The problem is, after appending a paragraph to the document body, the attribute changes are applied to the entire document. Is there a way to bold/italicize the cell data before appending it to the doc body?
function readRows() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var rows = sheet.getDataRange();
var numRows = rows.getNumRows();
var numCols = rows.getNumColumns();
var values = rows.getValues();
var doc = DocumentApp.create("Smogon Formatted");
var docBody = doc.getBody();
for (var i = 2; i <= numRows; i++) {
for (var j = 1; j <= numCols; j++){
var cellData = rows.getCell(i, j).getValue()
// Format data based on column
if (j == 1) {
docBody.appendParagraph(cellData).editAsText().setBold(true);
} else if (j == 2 || j == 3) {
var imgFormula = rows.getCell(i, j).getFormula();
var imgUrl = getImageUrl(imgFormula);
docBody.appendParagraph("[img]" + imgUrl + "[/img]");
} else if (j == 6) {
docBody.appendParagraph(cellData).editAsText().setItalic(true);
} else {
docBody.appendParagraph(cellData);
}
}
}
};
EDIT: Try #2, using the setAttributes method
function readRows() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var rows = sheet.getDataRange();
var numRows = rows.getNumRows();
var numCols = rows.getNumColumns();
var values = rows.getValues();
var doc = DocumentApp.create("Smogon Formatted");
var docBody = doc.getBody();
for (var i = 2; i <= numRows; i++) {
for (var j = 1; j <= numCols; j++){
var cellData = rows.getCell(i, j).getValue()
// Format data based on column
if (j == 1) {
docBody.appendParagraph(cellData).setAttributes(style1);
} else if (j == 2 || j == 3) {
var imgFormula = rows.getCell(i, j).getFormula();
var imgUrl = getImageUrl(imgFormula);
docBody.appendParagraph("[img]" + imgUrl + "[/img]");
} else if (j == 6) {
docBody.appendParagraph(cellData).setAttributes(style2);
} else {
docBody.appendParagraph(cellData);
}
}
}
};
// Style definitions as global variables
var style1= {};
style1[DocumentApp.Attribute.BOLD] = true;
var style2= {};
style2[DocumentApp.Attribute.ITALIC] = true;
If you use style attributes you can assign a style to every paragraph very easily, you can actually do it for any document element...
Here is a basic example code to show how it works :
(doc here)
function exportToDoc(){
var doc = DocumentApp.openById('16i----L53WTDpzuLyhqQQ_E');// or create a new doc (but not while you test it :-)
var body = doc.getBody();
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var values = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
for (var i in values){
var rowData = values[i].join(' + ');
if (i == 1) {
body.appendParagraph(rowData).setAttributes(style2);
} else if (i == 2 ) {
body.appendParagraph(rowData).setAttributes(style1)
}
}
doc.saveAndClose();
}
// Style definitions as global variables
var style1 = {};// style example 1
style1[DocumentApp.Attribute.FONT_SIZE] = 10;
style1[DocumentApp.Attribute.FONT_FAMILY] = DocumentApp.FontFamily.CONSOLAS;
style1[DocumentApp.Attribute.FOREGROUND_COLOR] = "#444400";
var style2 = {};// style example 2
style2[DocumentApp.Attribute.FONT_SIZE] = 16;
style2[DocumentApp.Attribute.FONT_FAMILY] =DocumentApp.FontFamily.ARIAL_NARROW;
style2[DocumentApp.Attribute.FOREGROUND_COLOR] = "#005500";
