Suppose that you defined a custom template for a list of figures title in the template library of a template for your report output type. To use the custom template:

  1. Get the title reporter using getTitleReporter.

  2. Set the properties of the title reporter. Set the Content property to the title text, the TemplateSrc property to the path and file name of the template file, and the TemplateName property to the name of the custom template for the list of figures title.

  3. Set the Title property of the list of figures reporter to the title reporter.

For example, suppose that the template file myTemplate.pdftx defines two templates to use with a list of figures title. One template, ListOfFiguresTitleRed, uses a style that makes the title red. The second template, ListOfFiguresTitleBlue, makes the title blue. This code applies the template that makes the title blue:

import mlreportgen.report.*
rpt = Report('myReport','pdf');
open(rpt);

lof = ListOfFigures();
titleReporter = getTitleReporter(lof);
titleReporter.Content = "My List of Figures";
titleReporter.TemplateSrc = "myTemplate.pdftx";
titleReporter.TemplateName = "ListOfFiguresTitleBlue";
lof.Title = titleReporter;
append(rpt,lof);

ch = Chapter("Vegetables");
f = FormalImage(which("peppers.png"));
f.Caption = "Peppers";
append(ch,f);
append(rpt,ch);
close(rpt);
rptview(rpt);
