Incomplete documentation

[NinjaLukeI]

Hi,

The documentation for this library is not complete. It's too vague on how to actually use it. I have no clue how to implement fonts, text-size, or how to actually get started with using it without JSX.

Hey @NinjaLukeI, you're right! At some point the project evolved faster than I could (or wanted) to update the documentation for. Like you, I just make whatever is interesting to me at the time; repairing documentation wasn't it :)

At this point (today) I am no longer actively developing docxml, and I have very little time to spend on it. That is not to say that I never will, but unfortunately I cannot promise you a timeframe in which I've updated docs.

Presumably you have found the documentation that lives alongside the README? https://wvbe.github.io/docxml

If I can give you two tips;

• The examples in examples/, although they are JSX, show how components and their properties/options are used. Last I checked, all the JSX examples did what they were supposed to do.
• The non-JSX variant is just instantiating those components (eg. new Paragraph()) where the first argument is always the props/options, and all following arguments are the children (more class instances, or strings in case of Text) of that component

Sorry, I cannot help you more in the short term. However, my former colleagues have forked (to https://github.com/fontoxml/docxml) and are now maintaining it. Possibly they have an opportunity to help with targeted questions.

That makes sense I understand. The examples were a bit vague on how to instantiate a DocX from nothing, and then add stuff to it which made it more difficult. I'll take a look at the repo you attached and it's okay I get it thank you for your help
