```
## Usages
The following is a basic example of the PHPWord library. More examples are provided in the [samples folder](samples/).
```php
$phpWord = new \PhpOffice\PhpWord\PhpWord();
// Every element you want to append to the word document is placed in a section.
// To create a basic section:
$section = $phpWord->addSection();
// After creating a section, you can append elements:
$section->addText('Hello world!');
// You can directly style your text by giving the addText function an array:
$section->addText('Hello world! I am formatted.',
array('name'=>'Tahoma', 'size'=>16, 'bold'=>true));
// If you often need the same style again you can create a user defined style
// to the word document and give the addText function the name of the style:
$phpWord->addFontStyle('myOwnStyle',
array('name'=>'Verdana', 'size'=>14, 'color'=>'1B2232'));
$section->addText('Hello world! I am formatted by a user defined style',
'myOwnStyle');
// You can also put the appended element to local object like this:
$fontStyle = new \PhpOffice\PhpWord\Style\Font();
$fontStyle->setBold(true);
$fontStyle->setName('Verdana');
$fontStyle->setSize(22);
$myTextElement = $section->addText('Hello World!');
$myTextElement->setFontStyle($fontStyle);
// Finally, write the document:
$objWriter = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::createWriter($phpWord, 'Word2007');
$objWriter->save('helloWorld.docx');
$objWriter = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::createWriter($phpWord, 'ODText');
$objWriter->save('helloWorld.odt');
$objWriter = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::createWriter($phpWord, 'RTF');
$objWriter->save('helloWorld.rtf');
```
