It's also possible to define a dictionary of reusable styles:

 

dd TDocDefinition

 

 dd.BeginContent()

         dd.AddText('This is a header', '"style": "header"')

         dd.AddText('No styling here, this is a standard paragraph')

         dd.AddText('Another text', '"style": "anotherStyle"')

         dd.AddText('Multiple styles applied', '"style": [ "header", "anotherStyle" ]')

 dd.EndContent()

 

 dd.AddStyle('header', '"fontSize": 22, "bold": true')

 dd.AddStyle('anotherStyle', '"italics": true, "alignment": "right"')

 

 

[=== compare with pdfmake:

var docDefinition = {

content: [

   { text: 'This is a header', style: 'header' },

  'No styling here, this is a standard paragraph',

   { text: 'Another text', style: 'anotherStyle' },

   { text: 'Multiple styles applied', style: [ 'header', 'anotherStyle' ] }

 ],

 

styles: {

  header: {

    fontSize: 22,

    bold: true

  },

  anotherStyle: {

    italics: true,

    alignment: 'right'

  }

 }

};
