Replaceable symbols using TextFragment
Replaceable symbols are special symbols in a text string that can be replaced with corresponding content at run time.
When adding TextFragment to paragraphs collection of PDF documents, it does not support line feed inside the text. However in order to add text with a line feed, please use TextFragment with TextParagraph:
- use “\r\n” or Environment.NewLine in TextFragment instead of single “\n”;
- create TextParagraph object. It will add text with line splitting;
- add the TextFragment with TextParagraph.AppendLine;
- add the TextParagraph with TextBuilder.AppendParagraph.
