Read TOC and PreserveText

[Faridabdallah01]

Hello,

Thank you for your time.

Here is the bug encounter

• TOC consider as an instance of PerserveText
• Unable to retrieve the contents of my table of contents

I would like to read a summary in a word document.

Steps to Reproduce

<?php
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use PhpOffice\PhpWord\Element\PreserveText;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\JsonResponse;

$phpWord = IOFactory::load($file->getRealPath());
$sections = $phpWord->getSections();
$paragraphs = [];
  foreach ($sections as $section) {
            foreach ($section->getElements() as $elementValue) {
                if($elementValue instanceof PreserveText) {
                    $paragraphs[] = $elementValue->getText();
                }
         }  
 }
return new JsonResponse($paragraphs);

Expected

I would like to retrieve the table of contents (if possible with the link) otherwise only the content.

Current

When I try to retrieve the content, to at least display the table of contents, i have this result (JsonResponse):

"{ TOC \\o "1-1" \\h \\z \\u }"

Context

• PHP Version: 8.1
• PHPWord Version: 0.18.3
• Symfony 5.4

Thanks !
