Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion; I think I can manage myself, if only the online documentation would be more specific (or available in the first place). I think the community would greatly benefit from a simple working example with popular frameworks - especially, considering Laravel is using Symfony (Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\StreamedResponse) and more and more frameworks are using Symfony components. Providing a public accessible Symfony example would probably address a lot of situations already.

Let me phrase it differently (as probably already 90% of the code is probably there already):

\Phpdocx\Create\CreateDocx::$returnDocxStructure = true;
$queue = array();
$docx = new \Phpdocx\Create\CreateDocxFromTemplate('/path_to_.docx');
$queue[] = $docx->createDocx();

$merge = new \Phpdocx\Utilities\MultiMerge();
$result = $merge->mergeDocx($queue[0], array(), 'example.docx', array());

return response()->streamDownload(function () use ($result) {

    echo $result;

}, 'document.docx');

I figure that, having the MultiMerge instance return DocXStructure (instead of having it created on the filesystem when $returnDocxStructure = false) and taking ownership of the streaming mode (as not setting streamMode to true, because that actually intervenes with the regular Controller / Response behavior).

Hence, while the above example is not correct, it should come very close. Let me phrase it like this: what output do I need to have from PhpDocx (DocX, Docx Structure?) in order to stream the result (without touching the filesystem)?
