Fluid Paragraph creation with Append

DocX v1.0.0.9 makes Paragraph creation even easier. The original idea of using Append in this manor came from a DocX user Morten Bjerre. Once again Morten I would like to say thank you for your contribution.

The below code creates a document with the following content.

1. A Picture
2. A Hyperlink
3. Different fonts
4. Different text styles

I hope you will agree that Append() and its variants [AppendLine(), AppendPicture() and AppendHyperlink()] make the creation of Paragraphs flow in a very fluid manor.

The below code creates the following output.

Code Snippet

1. // Create a document.
2.             using (DocX document = DocX.Create("Test.docx"))
3.             {
4.                 // Add a hyperlink into the document.
5.                 Hyperlink link = document.AddHyperlink("link", new Uri("http://www.google.com"));
6.  
7.                 // Add a Table into the document.
8.                 Table table = document.AddTable(2, 2);
9.                 table.Design = TableDesign.ColorfulGridAccent2;
10.                 table.Alignment = Alignment.center;
11.                 table.Rows[0].Cells[0].Paragraphs[0].Append("3");
12.                 table.Rows[0].Cells[1].Paragraphs[0].Append("1");
13.                 table.Rows[1].Cells[0].Paragraphs[0].Append("4");
14.                 table.Rows[1].Cells[1].Paragraphs[0].Append("1");
15.  
16.                 // Add an image into the document.    
17.                 Novacode.Image image = document.AddImage("Image.jpg");
18.  
19.                 // Create a picture (A custom view of an Image).
20.                 Picture picture = image.CreatePicture();
21.                 picture.Rotation = 10;
22.                 picture.SetPictureShape(BasicShapes.cube);
23.  
24.                 // Insert a new Paragraph into the document.
25.                 Paragraph title = document.InsertParagraph().Append("Test").FontSize(20).Font(new FontFamily("Comic Sans MS"));
26.                 title.Alignment = Alignment.center;
27.  
28.                 // Insert a new Paragraph into the document.
29.                 Paragraph p1 = document.InsertParagraph();
30.  
31.                 // Append content to the Paragraph
32.                 p1.AppendLine("This line contains a ").Append("bold").Bold().Append(" word.");
33.                 p1.AppendLine("Here is a cool ").AppendHyperlink(link).Append(".");
34.                 p1.AppendLine();
35.                 p1.AppendLine("Check out this picture ").AppendPicture(picture).Append(" its funky don't you think?");
36.                 p1.AppendLine();
37.                 p1.AppendLine("Can you check this Table of figures for me?");
38.                 p1.AppendLine();
39.                 
40.                 // Insert the Table after Paragraph 1.
41.                 p1.InsertTableAfterSelf(table);
42.  
43.                 // Insert a new Paragraph into the document.
44.                 Paragraph p2 = document.InsertParagraph();
45.  
46.                 // Append content to the Paragraph.
47.                 p2.AppendLine("Is it correct?");
48.  
49.                 // Save this document.
50.                 document.Save();
51.             }
