如何使用python-docx库设置表格单元格的边框（How to setup cell borders with python-docx）

1.在用python-docx库插入表格后，想要更改表格样式可以通过表格样式来更改，比如：设为无线框表格

table_style = 'Normal Table'

这种方法在网上一堆，便不再赘述。但这种方法很“死板”，只能选取docx库中的指定样式，做不到根据要求隐去表格的某条边框，要实现此功能，只能自己写。

2.python-docx库官方目前没有设置单元格边框的函数方法，可以使用下列代码进行每个单元格边框的设置，用法见函数中‘Usage’字段。

​from docx.table import _Cell
from docx.oxml import OxmlElement
from docx.oxml.ns import qn

def set_cell_border(cell: _Cell, **kwargs):
    """
    Set cell`s border
    Usage:

    set_cell_border(
        cell,
        top={"sz": 12, "val": "single", "color": "#FF0000", "space": "0"},
        bottom={"sz": 12, "color": "#00FF00", "val": "single"},
        start={"sz": 24, "val": "dashed", "shadow": "true"},
        end={"sz": 12, "val": "dashed"},
    )
    """
    tc = cell._tc
    tcPr = tc.get_or_add_tcPr()

    # check for tag existnace, if none found, then create one
    tcBorders = tcPr.first_child_found_in("w:tcBorders")
    if tcBorders is None:
        tcBorders = OxmlElement('w:tcBorders')
        tcPr.append(tcBorders)

    # list over all available tags
    for edge in ('start', 'top', 'end', 'bottom', 'insideH', 'insideV'):
        edge_data = kwargs.get(edge)
        if edge_data:
            tag = 'w:{}'.format(edge)

            # check for tag existnace, if none found, then create one
            element = tcBorders.find(qn(tag))
            if element is None:
                element = OxmlElement(tag)
                tcBorders.append(element)

            # looks like order of attributes is important
            for key in ["sz", "val", "color", "space", "shadow"]:
                if key in edge_data:
                    element.set(qn('w:{}'.format(key)), str(edge_data[key]))

Elements:

Element	Description
top	Specifies the border displayed at the top of the cell. Reference: ECMA-376, 3rd Edition (June, 2011), Fundamentals and Markup Language Reference § 17.4.75.
bottom	Specifies the border displayed at the bottom of a cell. Reference: ECMA-376, 3rd Edition (June, 2011), Fundamentals and Markup Language Reference § 17.4.3.
start	Specifies the border displayed on the leading edge of the cell (left for left-to-right tables and right for right-to-left tables). Note: In the previous version of the standard, this element was left. Reference: ECMA-376, 3rd Edition (June, 2011), Fundamentals and Markup Language Reference § 17.4.34.
end	Specifies the border displayed on the trailing edge of the cell (right for left-to-right tables and left for right-to-left tables). Note: In the previous version of the standard, this element was right. Reference: ECMA-376, 3rd Edition (June, 2011), Fundamentals and Markup Language Reference § 17.4.12.
insideH	Specifies the border to be displayed on all interior horizontal edges of the cell. Note that this is mostly useless in the case of individual cells, as there is no concept of interior edge for individual cells. However, it is used to determine cell borders to apply to a specific group of cells as part of table conditional formatting in a table style, e.g., the inside edges on the set of cells in the first column. Reference: ECMA-376, 3rd Edition (June, 2011), Fundamentals and Markup Language Reference § 17.4.24.
insideV	Specifies the border to be displayed on all interior vertical edges of the cell. Note that this is mostly useless in the case of individual cells, as there is no concept of interior edge for individual cells. However, it is used to determine cell borders to apply to a specific group of cells as part of table conditional formatting in a table style, e.g., the inside edges on the set of cells in the first column. Reference: ECMA-376, 3rd Edition (June, 2011), Fundamentals and Markup Language Reference § 17.4.26.
tl2br	Specifies the border to be displayed on the top left side to bottom right diagonal within the cell. Reference: ECMA-376, 3rd Edition (June, 2011), Fundamentals and Markup Language Reference § 17.4.74.
tr2bl	Specifies the border to be displayed on the top right to bottom left diagonal within the cell. Reference: ECMA-376, 3rd Edition (June, 2011), Fundamentals and Markup Language Reference § 17.4.80.

Attributes of child elements:

The most commonly used attributes are below. (The theme-related and frame attributes have been omitted.)

Attribute	Description
color	Specifies the color of the border. Values are given as hex values (in RRGGBB format). No #, unlike hex values in HTML/CSS. E.g., color="FFFF00". A value of auto is also permitted and will allow the consuming word processor to determine the color.
shadow	Specifies whether the border should be modified to create the appearance of a shadow. For right and bottom borders, this is done by duplicating the border below and right of the normal location. For the right and top borders, this is done by moving the border down and to the right of the original location. Permitted values are true and false.
space	Specifies the spacing offset. Values are specified in points (1/72nd of an inch).
sz	Specifies the width of the border. Table borders are line borders (see the val attribute below), and so the width is specified in eighths of a point, with a minimum value of two (1/4 of a point) and a maximum value of 96 (twelve points). (Page borders can alternatively be art borders, with the width is given in points and a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 31.)
val	Specifies the style of the border. Table borders can be only line borders. (Page borders can also be art borders.) Possible values are: single - a single line dashDotStroked - a line with a series of alternating thin and thick strokes dashed - a dashed line dashSmallGap - a dashed line with small gaps dotDash - a line with alternating dots and dashes dotDotDash - a line with a repeating dot - dot - dash sequence dotted - a dotted line double - a double line doubleWave - a double wavy line inset - an inset set of lines nil - no border none - no border outset - an outset set of lines thick - a single line thickThinLargeGap - a thick line contained within a thin line with a large-sized intermediate gap thickThinMediumGap - a thick line contained within a thin line with a medium-sized intermediate gap thickThinSmallGap - a thick line contained within a thin line with a small intermediate gap thinThickLargeGap - a thin line contained within a thick line with a large-sized intermediate gap thinThickMediumGap - a thick line contained within a thin line with a medium-sized intermediate gap thinThickSmallGap - a thick line contained within a thin line with a small intermediate gap thinThickThinLargeGap - a thin-thick-thin line with a large gap thinThickThinMediumGap - a thin-thick-thin line with a medium gap thinThickThinSmallGap - a thin-thick-thin line with a small gap threeDEmboss - a three-staged gradient line, getting darker towards the paragraph threeDEngrave - a three-staged gradient like, getting darker away from the paragraph triple - a triple line wave - a wavy line Reference: ECMA-376, 3rd Edition (June, 2011), Fundamentals and Markup Language Reference § 17.18.2.
