I have some Google Apps scripts that use the DocumentApp .replaceText method to find a text string in a Google Document and replace it with a different text string. var file = DocsList.getFileById('xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'); var newTextString = 'foo\nbar'; file.replaceText('Old text string',newTextString); The \n works to make line breaks, but is there a way to format the text with bold/italics/colors/etc? I tried to use HTML tags and inline CSS styles with the span tag, but that didn't work, it just outputs the text including the tags. I remember how Google Docs used to have an

I'm trying to export a document in html and import it again (for the purpose of the test I don't even edit the file). After exporting, I can see that the page break is kept in the html : <hr style="page-break-before:always;display:none;"> But after I import this file into google docs, and do the conversion, the page break is not materialized in the document. I can only see a line where the pagebreak should be. Is there is a way to make it working ? PS: I'm using the python gdata v3 API. I've also been looking for this. It seems this is as easy as adding: <hr class="pb"> Credit: https:/

I'm trying to dynamically extract the string between 2 characters in Excel using a formula (no text to columns). The sample data is: US - Blue Widgets - Net UK - Green - Grass UAE - Red - Apples * Note that the data doesn't have fixed length I tried using a formula, but I think I'm missing something because that also returns the string after the last - . Formula: =TRIM(LEFT(SUBSTITUTE(MID(A2,FIND("|",SUBSTITUTE(A2,"-","|",1))+1,LEN(A2)),"_",REPT(" ",LEN(A2))),LEN(A2))) what this returns is: Blue Widgets - Net Green - Grass Red - Apples here's what I'd like it to return: Blue Widgets Green Red

I'd like to write a script for google docs to automatically highlight a set of words. For one word I could use a script like this: function myFunction() { var doc = DocumentApp.openById('ID'); var textToHighlight = "TEST" var highlightStyle = {}; highlightStyle[DocumentApp.Attribute.FOREGROUND_COLOR] = '#FF0000'; var paras = doc.getParagraphs(); var textLocation = {}; var i; for (i=0; i<paras.length; ++i) { textLocation = paras[i].findText(textToHighlight); if (textLocation != null && textLocation.getStartOffset() != -1) { textLocation.getElement().setAttributes(textLocation.getStartOffset()

In a document similar to the above, I can get all the paragraphs with the following code: var paras = body.getParagraphs(); Notice that the code above not only returns the top level paragraphs but also returns all the sub-level paragraphs inside ListItem s, Table s etc. How can I do the same thing within a selected range? Following code only returns top level elements. const selection = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument().getSelection(); var rangeElements = selection.getRangeElements(); For example, the table above contains 9 non-empty paragraphs and I'd like to process them one by one if they are
