Hello,

I am building a docx builder feature for a php application I have been working on. We are thinking about purchasing the Basic version which includes the deleteTemplateBlock feature. My question is, can you delete any kind of content as long it is wrapped in the $BLOCK_varName$ template tags or only simple text blocks? I am trying to produce a docx file where the inclusion of content is controlled purely by $BLOCK_varName$ tags and I would need to be able to delete (or leave) graphs, charts, tables and ither types of content. The reason I ask is because I tried other PHP libraries which offers similar functionality but where it is only possible to delete simple text blocks. The deleteTemplateBlock method is not included in the evaluation version so I am unable to test. We will probably go ahead and purchase the Basic version but we will need to know this first. Also does it remove the $BLOCK_varName$ tags on blocks which are left in the doc. Silly question I know but I have tested libraries which don't do this or at leat they try to di it but they do it very badly using regex. Any help appreciated.

 

Thanks
