I am reading Office OpenXml styles from an xml file and adding them to a document. The styles are the tags and each attribute represents a property of the style. Creating the style from the Name (string) of the tag is easy, but when I try to set the "Type" property of the style to StyleValues.Table (read as a string from the Type attribute of the xml), I get errors. The Type of the "Type" property is DocumentFormat.OpenXml.EnumValue

Wrap your code in < pre lang="c#" >< /pre > tags (remove the spaces before/after the greater than/less than signs) in order to post your code. Plenty of people do it daily so...i believe in you.

The simplest way is to just paste your code in: when you do that a pop-up appears giving you options for how to paste it. Generally, these contain:

Paste as-is
Encode HTML
Code Block
Quoted Text
Best Guess

And a small preview of what it will insert as you hover the mouse over the options.
If I paste in some C#

List<string> myList = new List<string>();
if (a == b)
   c();

"Encode HTML" and "Code Block" are probably the ones to start with:
Encode HTML:

List&lt;string&gt; myList = new List&lt;string&gt;();
if (a == b)
   c();

Which displays as:
List<string> myList = new List<string>();
if (a == b)
c();
Code Block:

C#

List<string> myList = new List<string>();
if (a == b)
   c();

You can also paste code and use the code widget above the text box to add the formatting you want.
