Paragraph Settings for Image, Table

[BBalazsJurgen]

While it might happen that we have overlooked something, I am quite certain that this might be a missing feature. If not, please point us in the right direction.

This is:

• a feature request?

Current Behavior

You can't set paragraph options for images and tables - that is, you can't define spaceBefore, spaceAfter or keepNext for Images and Tables, as you can see in the reference:
http:https://phpword.readthedocs.io/en/latest/styles.html
Spacing and keepNext are only available for paragraphs.

How to Reproduce

Now the thing is, if you add an image using the following code:
$section->addImage(dirname(dirname(__FILE__))."/uploads/123.png", array( "spaceBefore"=>0, "spaceAfter"=>0, "width" => \PhpOffice\PhpWord\Shared\Converter::cmToPixel(12) ));
the spaceBefore, spaceAfter and keepNext (not present in the example) settings are ignored. However, it really is a frequent desire to be able to:

• control the spacing after an image
• keep the next line, often a subtitle with the image, together with the image itself.

Expected Behavior

Now, in MS Word, you can set these paragraph options simply by clicking the image and going to paragraph settings. How can you resolve this issue without having to resort to defining keepNext in setDefaultParagraphStyle, which is much too counterintuitive. I'm open to any suggestions you have to offer. Thanks!

Context

• PHP version: 5.6
• PHPWord version: 0.13.0

Edit: Edited to better match the formatting requirements.

It would be great if it will be implemented!

@BBalazsJurgen trick solution

$wrapperTable = $section->addTable(); 
$row = $wrapperTable->addRow(null, ['cantSplit' => true]);
$cell = $row->addCell();
$table = $cell->addTable($this->tableStyle);

Just wrap table or image you need into other "wrapper" table and that's it.

Same for me, still waiting for this

[xraphael75]

As Myrkotyn suggested, I was able to wrap the image in a textrun and then set the paragraph styling on the textrun.

	$textrun = $section->addTextRun(array('spaceAfter' => 0));
	$img = $textrun->addImage(
		$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/images/email_signatures/logo.jpg',
		array(
			'width'         => 37.5, 
			'height'        => 21, 
			'marginTop'     => 0,
			'marginLeft'    => 0,
			'wrappingStyle' => 'square',
		)
	);

While this works, it would be nice if:

• the documentation explained this
• the addimage function supported paragraph styles directly
