Apache POI currently offers limited support for rich text features in Word documents. Many users require more advanced formatting capabilities (such as mixed fonts, colors, styles, nested effects, and other modern Word rich text features) when generating or editing .docx files programmatically. Enhancing POI’s support for rich text in Word would enable: - More accurate rendering of documents with complex text formatting - Improved document editing workflows - Expanded use cases for document automation This feature would be especially helpful for applications that need to closely replicate or manipulate professional Word documents with high-fidelity formatting. **Proposal:** - Add or improve APIs to allow setting and retrieving advanced rich text formatting on runs and paragraphs in Word documents. - Support for nested and combined formatting (multiple styles/attributes within the same run or paragraph). - Better mapping of POI’s rich text model to Word's underlying XML structure. **Potential Impact:** - Makes POI more competitive and useful for developers needing advanced document generation. - Unlocks a broader set of automation and integration scenarios. If additional details or specific use cases are needed, I am happy to provide them. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
