    Hello,
    I looked through your documentation but haven't found any way to remove variables from a template if they are not filled. Is there any way to do this.

    I looked at using blocks, but a lot of my variables are inline, and using $docx->clearBlocks() removes the whole line.

    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hello,

    Phpdocx doesn't remove not used placeholders. Your script must control them and remove if needed or any other task.
    To remove a placeholder just replace it using a blank space.

    Regards.

    Thanks for the fast response. As a feature request, maybe future versions could have a removeEmptyVariables() function.
