docxtpl: insert new row with borders

Question

I have a word document page.docx containing tables and the python file file 1.py:

from docxtpl import DocxTemplate

doc = DocxTemplate("page.docx")
context = { 'text': 'there could be your ad'}

a = doc.tables

for i in a:
    if i.cell(0,0).text == 'some_text_in_title':
        print(i.cell(0,0).text)
        i.add_row()

doc.render(context)
doc.save("page1.docx")

This inserts new rows into the file but doesn't add borders to these new rows.

How can I set border settings in docxtpl?

Also, ``` for style in doc.styles: print(style.name) ``` Gives that result ``` Normal Default Paragraph Font Normal Table No List ``` — Алексей Безлук

The python-docx module is more suited for your purpose of modifying an existing table in a Word document.

from docx import Document

document = Document(input_document_path)
tables = document.tables

for table in tables:
    for row in table.rows:
        if row.cells[0].text=="text_to_match":
            print(row.cells[0].text)
            table.add_row().cells

document.save(output_file_path)

The rows newly created with the add_row() function retain the style attributes of the original table.
