Restart ListItem Numbering

[RLovelett]

Is there a way to restart the ListItem numbering (lettering)?

Using this code snippet:

$numberStyleList = array('listType' => \PHPWord_Style_ListItem::TYPE_NUMBER);
$alphStyleList = array('listType' => \PHPWord_Style_ListItem::TYPE_ALPHANUM);

$section->addListItem('One', 0, null, $numberStyleList);
$section->addListItem('Two', 0, null, $numberStyleList);
$section->addListItem('Alpha', 1, null, $alphStyleList);
$section->addListItem('Beta', 1, null, $alphStyleList);
$section->addListItem('Three', 0, null, $numberStyleList);
$section->addListItem('Charlie', 1, null, $alphStyleList);

Currently it would output this:

1. One
2. Two
   A. Alpha
   B. Beta
3. Three
   C. Charlie

I want to output this:

1. One
2. Two
   A. Alpha
   B. Beta
3. Three
   A. Charlie

Is there some other code call that needs to be made? Or is this a limitation of PHPWord?

I'm having the same problem with an ordered list. Any updates on this issue?

Yes, kind of. I never got it fully ready for prime-time. That is why I never submitted a pull-request.

But I have a branch in a personal fork called saic. In that branch I have worked-around this issue by completely allowing you to design your own numbered lists. Similar to the way you can create paragraph and font styles.

The specific commit is this one: https://github.com/RLovelett/PHPWord/commit/1a6c6851f0d2444245f457c245d717ab18084672

If you make patches/changes to it I would love to see them. I want to make this feature complete and get it merged into master. 👍

Hi @RLovelett, can you please check the latest version of the develop branch to verify that this feature is already in place and perhaps give us some suggestion for improvement? Thanks.
