# Rocx [](https://codeclimate.com/github/genebot/rocx)
Rocx is a gem for creating .docx (Office Open XML) files. It's designed to validate _before_ the document is generated, so (hopefully) any errors are caught prior to opening the file using software that can handle OOXML (like Microsoft Word, Apache Open Office, Google Docs, etc).
An example:
```ruby
require "rocx"
text = Rocx::Elements::Text.new("Some text that I want to include in my new OOXML document")
run = Rocx::Elements::Run.new
run.bold = true
run << text
paragraph = Rocx::Elements::Paragraph.new
paragraph << run
document = Rocx::Package.new
document.document << paragraph
document.save("/path/where/i/save/things/test.docx")
```
## Installation
You can install Rocx by running `gem install rocx`, or if you like Rails, include `gem "rocx"` in your Gemfile.
## Current features
- Paragraphs
- Runs and text
- Formatting and styles for the paragraphs, runs, and text
