Template example file

[ccorliss]

Does anyone have a doc that could be used with this example?
https://github.com/PHPOffice/PHPWord/blob/develop/src/Examples/Template.php

$document = $PHPWord->loadTemplate('Template.docx');

@MarkBaker Any ideas on this? I'm trying to figure out how this library expects fields to be setup in the word template.

Thanks

Hi, Curtis. I guess this fragment of source code answers the question.

if(substr($search, 0, 2) !== '${' && substr($search, -1) !== '}') {
  $search = '${'.$search.'}';
}

So, the followed statement from Template.php:

$document->setValue('Value1', 'Sun');

will actually search for the "${Value1}" (NOT "Value1") in the specified template file.

The template example has been provided by @jeroenmoors (#90) on the develop branch as sample/resources/Sample_07_TemplateCloneRow.docx. He even provided added feature to clone row.
