Table column with italic text

[aritramhp]

Hi,

First of all, thanks for including table() in py-fpdf.

I am trying to make a table where only a column will contain the italic text, the text in the rest of the columns will be in the normal font. It would be a great help if you could let me know how to solve this.

Thank you in advance.

Hi @aritramhp

Welcome to the fpdf2 community 😊

It's totally fine to ask such questions there, I would just recommend to provide some code with your message, to share what you tried so far 🙂

Anyway, could you try this code and tell if that fits your needs?

from fpdf import FontFace, FPDF

TABLE_DATA = (
    ("First name", "Last name", "Age", "City"),
    ("Jules", "Smith", "34", "San Juan"),
    ("Mary", "Ramos", "45", "Orlando"),
    ("Carlson", "Banks", "19", "Los Angeles"),
    ("Lucas", "Cimon", "31", "Saint-Mahturin-sur-Loire"),
)

ITALICS = FontFace(emphasis="ITALICS")
INDEX_OF_COLUMN_IN_ITALICS = 2

pdf = FPDF()
pdf.add_page()
pdf.set_font("Times", size=16)
with pdf.table() as table:
    for data_row in TABLE_DATA:
        row = table.row()
        for i, datum in enumerate(data_row):
            row.cell(datum, style=ITALICS if i == INDEX_OF_COLUMN_IN_ITALICS else None)
pdf.output("discussion_1070.pdf")
