No example to add indented text after doc creation, except lorem epsum example

There is no more examples that explains how to indent our text blocks.

One of the way is

doc = Document(data=NoEscape(lorem))

that you can find at https://jeltef.github.io/PyLaTeX/latest/examples/config.html.

But what if I want to add the indented text after doc creation using

doc = Document() statement

So that beautiful letterhead pdf documents could be created.

The PyLaTex doc is excellent but I am not finding any example related to the above issue.

I am not sure whether there is any way to do this(already present in the documentation).

I tried a lot but failed. Suggest me any example please.

What I want is I want to create letterhead documents something like in this https://www.latextemplates.com/cat/formal-letters.

I am able to add logo, right header text etc. but I am unable to indent text blocks.

And regarding the import error. You should do from pylatex.section import Paragraph. Apparently it’s not exported in the main module.

Thanks for your appreciable help @JelteF .

I am trying to use font_size = "10pt" with Document() constructor but it is failing to affect the font size.

ISSUSES:-

• if I am using doc.create(Paragraph("")) then it is adding space at the beginning of each paragraph.

• doc.content_separator = "\n\n\n\n" , doc.content_separator = "\n\n", doc.content_separator = "\t\t" all are producing the same pdf.

CODE SNIPPET:-

  doc = Document("paragraph", indent=False, geometry_options=geometry_options, \
        font_size="40pt", document_options="a4paper");

Just check font_size in the above code snippet.

And suggest me the way to overcome these issues. You can also check my complete code snippet below.

from pylatex import Document, LargeText
from pylatex.section import Paragraph;
from pylatex.utils import bold

geometry_options = {
	"head": "1pt",
	"margin": "0.5in",
	"bottom": "0.5in",
	"includeheadfoot": True
}

doc = Document("paragraph", indent=False, geometry_options=geometry_options, \
	font_size="40pt", document_options=["a2paper"]);

text1 = """At vero eos et accusamus et iusto odio dignissimos ducimus qui blanditiis praesentium voluptatum deleniti atque corrupti quos dolores et quas molestias excepturi sint occaecati cupiditate non provident, similique sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollitia animi, id est laborum et dolorum fuga. Et harum quidem rerum facilis est et expedita distinctio. Nam libero tempore, cum soluta nobis est eligendi optio cumque nihil impedit quo minus id.""";

text2 = """quod maxime placeat facere possimus, omnis voluptas assumenda est, omnis olor repellendus.

Itaque earum rerum hic tenetur a sapiente delectus, ut aut reiciendis voluptatibus maiores alias consequatur aut perferendis doloribus asperiores repellat.""";

text3 = """Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

doc.content_separator = '\t\t'

with doc.create(Paragraph("")):
	doc.append(LargeText( bold("Respected sir,")));

with doc.create(Paragraph("Paragraph1")):
	doc.append(text1);

with doc.create(Paragraph("Paragraph2")):
	doc.append(text2);

with doc.create(Paragraph("")):
	doc.append(text3);

doc.generate_pdf(clean_tex=False)

When I am executing the above code it works fine, 2nd time & 3rd time it shows erros, finally again 4th time it runs fine. I am not sure about this issue.

Please help me to understand this issue as I want to progress quickly with the usage of PyLaTeX.
