feature: Table.insert_row()

[shangxiao]

Working from a docx template, I'd like to be able to insert rows in any position. I saw a method for inserting paragraphs, but nothing for table rows.

There is the table add_row method.

The add_row method only add rows at the end of table, but I need insert some rows into the middle of table , so help!

Did some has a workaround for this inserting a row, or implemented it?
oke created a workaround by myself, its just the first version

def insert_after_row(table, row):
    from docx.oxml.shared import OxmlElement, qn
    
    tbl = table._tbl
    tr = OxmlElement('w:tr')

    index = 0
    for i, element in enumerate(tbl):
        if element.xml == tbl.tr_lst[row._index].xml:
            index = i
    
    if index == 0:
        print "Index should never be 0!"
    tbl.insert(index, tr)
    
    for gridCol in tbl.tblGrid.gridCol_lst:
        tc = tr.add_tc()
        tc.width = gridCol.w
    
    #copy the hight from the above cell
    height = row._tr.xpath('./w:trPr/w:trHeight')[0].get(qn('w:val'))
    if height == None:
        print "No height set so skip"
    else: 
        trPr = tr.get_or_add_trPr()
        trHeight = OxmlElement('w:trHeight')
        trHeight.set(qn('w:val'), str(height))
        trHeight.set(qn('w:hRule'), "atLeast")
        trPr.append(trHeight)

Slightly simpler workaround:

def insert_row(table, ix):
    tbl = table._tbl
    successor = tbl.tr_lst[ix]
    tr = tbl._new_tr()
    for gridCol in tbl.tblGrid.gridCol_lst:
        tc = tr.add_tc()
        tc.width = gridCol.w
    successor.addprevious(tr)
    return table.rows[ix]
