    Hi,

    I have a minimal example which produces invalid xml in parse mode when a variable is used in a textfield:

    $docx = new CreateDocxFromTemplate($docxPath);
$docx->setTemplateSymbol('##');
$docx->setParseMode(true);

$docx->replaceVariableByText([$key => $placeholderValue]);

    Without parseMode the variable isn't detected at all.


    This template used work without problems in PHPDocx 6.5, but after upgrading to 14 it produces this error:

    DOMDocument::loadXML(): Opening and ending tag mismatch: shape line 1 and t in Entity, line: 1
---ERRFILE---

---ERRLINE---

    Thank you very much, it works without parseMode and your suggested regex.
    I falsely understood the api documentation that setting regExprVariableSymbols wasn't neccessary when using identical symbols at beginning and end but apparently this is limited to a single identical symbol.

    I will send the template to the contact address in case you want to check parse mode anyway.
