    Hello, 

    I have a Word document with a couple of placeholders that I want to replace. Some of the placeholders are formatted, e.g. in bold, italic, and so on.

    However, I wanted the replacements to be highlighted in yellow, so I can clearly see, where I need to doublecheck.

    When I got a formatted document like this:

         This is a text with a $Variable$.

    I want the outcome to be like this:

         This is a text with a replaced Text. (Also highlighted in yellow but this editor cannot do this).

    However, the texts comes like this:

       This is a text with a replaced Text. (Also highlighted in yellow but this editor cannot do this).

     

    My code:

    ...

    $docx = new CreateDocxFromTemplate($document);

    $word_fragment = new WordFragment($docx);

    $word_fragment->addText("replaced Text", array("highlightColor" => "yellow")); 

    $docx->replaceVariableByWordFragment(array("Variable" => $word_fragment), $options);

     

    Any ideas/help?
