Function to add blank lines to a predetermined number in DOCX

[nonprofittechy]

It would be handy to have a function that shortens the syntax for something like this:

{{p some_answer }}
{%p line for line in range(10-((some_answer/80) | int) %} (where 80 is the actual number of characters that fit on a line, at least on average--you can check what actually fits on your page based on the font, etc, and 10 represents the existing number of blank lines (replace with real numbers))

{%p endfor %}

Even better if we could just use a tab stop and use an underline to the end of the margin?

See this snippet suggested by ChatGPT:

from docx import Document
from docx.shared import Pt

# Create a new Document
doc = Document()

# Add a paragraph
p = doc.add_paragraph()

# Set a single tab stop at the right margin (assumed to be at 6 inches for US Letter size)
tab_stop = p.paragraph_format.tab_stops.add_tab_stop(Pt(6*72), leader='underline')

# Add underlined text with a right tab to extend the underline
run = p.add_run('Your Text Here\t')
run.underline = True

# Save the document
doc.save('your_doc.docx')
