Several popular options which the user may wish to review after the initial installation are:Ĭreate Backup Copy: Edit → Preferences → Editor tab. ( gksudo is used in this example since the file is a system file owned by root): gksudo gedit +21 /etc/apt/sources.list To open at a specific line number, useful when an error message includes the line number, include "+". It is NOT recommended to manually run graphical applications with administrative privileges, but in case you insist to do it, be sure to use gksudo rather than sudo. To edit system files such as sources.list and fstab, open it with administrative privileges. To open multiple files: gedit file1 file2 If the file is not found, gedit will open a blank file with the file name entered on the command line: If a path is not included in the startup command, gedit will look for the file in the current directory. Opening gedit via the command line allows the user to take advantage of several options unavailable from the GUI menu. Gedit incorporates a graphical user interface (GUI) and is opened by going to Applications → Accessories → Text Editor or by pressing Alt+F2 and typing gedit
From a terminal or ALT-F2: sudo apt-get install gedit. Select gedit in Synaptic ( System → Adminstration → Synaptic Package Manager) gedit can be installed in Kubuntu, Xubuntu and other distributions although additional libraries are necessary and will be installed on non-GNOME systems. Gedit is located in Ubuntu's Main repository and is installed by default. Gedit is suited for both basic and more advanced text editing and is released under the GNU General Public License. These include multilanguage spell checking, extensive support of syntax highlighting, and a large number of official and third party plugins. It is UTF-8 compatible and supports most standard text editor features as well as many advanced features. If you'd like to copy the entire document I suggest you do this: for para in input_doc.Text Editor (gedit) is the default GUI text editor in the Ubuntu operating system. Get_para_data(output_doc, input_doc.paragraphs) You need to give it the name you gave your output document and the paragraphs you want to copy. Checks what's the alignment of the run and applies the found alignment setting to the run. Checks what's the font of the run and applies the found font to the run. Checks what's the color of the run in RGB and applies the found color to the run. If it's True, the run will be in that style, if it's False, it won't be in that style, and if it's None, it will be inherited by the default style of the paragraph it's in. Checks whether each of the styles bold, italic and underline is True, False, None. Adds a new paragraph object to the file. Output_para.paragraph_format.alignment = paragraph.paragraph_format.alignment Output_run = output_para.add_run(run.text) Output_para = output_doc_name.add_paragraph() Write the run to the new file and then set its font, bold, alignment, color etc.
This is the function I wrote: def get_para_data(output_doc_name, paragraph): In order to copy the text with its styles, you will need to write your own function, as there is no python-docx function that does such a thing.
