I do add a new style to a document and then use its name when adding paragraphs for example. The resulting docx file looks as expected. But I was supprised to realize that this style then is persistent. I ran another script without defining that style but accidentally discovered the style (by name) is available in the new document instance.
Might it be that python-docx use a template file in the back and store new style into that template file, too?
The behavior is unexpected. Not sure if it make sense to modify that behavior.
But beside of that question I would like to know if there is a way to "reset" the template file to its original state?
This is how I create and add such a style.
from docx.enum.style import WD_STYLE_TYPE
from docx.shared import Pt
style = doc._doc.styles.add_style('Foobar', WD_STYLE_TYPE.PARAGRAPH)
style.base_style = doc._doc.styles['Normal']
style.font.name = 'Cascadia Mono'
style.font.size = Pt(10)
