    Hi All, Been using PHPDOCX for a while now and it's been working rather well. Just upgraded to the latest version and having to rewrite a fair chunk of code. This includes a bullet point that is populated with a dynamic number of items. Previously I just added a tag ($BLAH$) to the document template, and then used the addtemplatevariable with an array. e.g. $docx->addTemplateVariable(BLAH, $BulletArray); This no longer works, and I can't figure out how to do it with the replaceVariableByText, am I missing something obvious? Thanks in advance!
