Struct Comment 

Source
pub struct Comment {
    pub id: u32,
    pub author: Option<String>,
    pub initials: Option<String>,
    pub date: Option<String>,
    pub blocks: Vec<Block>,
}
Expand description

A single comment’s content (<w:comment>, CT_Comment), declared in word/comments.xml and anchored to a range of the body via Run.comment_ids — see that field’s doc comment for how the underlying w:commentRangeStart/w:commentRangeEnd/w:commentReference markers are derived automatically rather than modeled here.

CT_Comment extends CT_TrackChange (id, author, date) and adds initials, plus the same block-level content model as the document body (EG_BlockLevelElts, like Note/HeaderFooter). A <w:annotationRef/> (CT_Empty) may optionally mark this comment’s own reference mark inside its content — not modeled: ECMA-376 §2.13.4.1 explicitly allows omitting it (“an annotation reference mark may be added. by the consumer”), and Word’s Reviewing pane balloon already shows author/date/initials from this element’s own attributes without needing it, unlike a footnote/endnote’s number marker (NoteMarker), which genuinely is the only thing that renders the note’s number at all.

Fields§

§id: u32

This comment’s id, referenced by Run.comment_ids.

§author: Option<String>

The comment’s author (w:author), shown in Word’s Reviewing pane.

§initials: Option<String>

The author’s initials (w:initials), shown next to the comment’s reference mark in the body.

§date: Option<String>

When the comment was made (w:date), stored verbatim as a plain xs:dateTime string (e.g. "2024-01-01T12:00:00Z") rather than parsed into a real date/time type — this crate doesn’t otherwise need a date/time dependency, so round-tripping this one attribute as text avoids adding one just for this. The caller is responsible for a valid xs:dateTime value if Word’s own date display matters.

§blocks: Vec<Block>

The blocks that make up this comment’s content, in order.

Implementations§

Source§

impl Comment

Source

pub fn new(id: u32) -> Comment

Creates an empty comment with the given id and no author/initials/ date set.

Source

pub fn with_text(id: u32, text: impl Into<String>) -> Comment

A ready-made comment: a single paragraph with the given text. Use Comment::new plus with_paragraph/with_table instead for full control (e.g. a comment spanning several paragraphs). Unlike Note::footnote_with_text, no marker run is needed at the start — see Comment’s doc comment for why annotationRef isn’t modeled.
