Hi all

Something I noticed during development today is that PHPDocX will not accept a numeric value when using addTemplateVariable. I discovered this while automatically calculating a total cost including tax when given a cost and a tax multiplier -- when using something like: 

$docx->addTemplateVariable('totalincvat', $total * $vatrate); 

PHPDocX ignores this and leaves the variable in place (showing $totalincvat$ in the document, for example). A wordaround would be:

$docx->addTemplateVariable('totalincvat', (string)($total * $vatrate));

Hopefully this helps someone.

Cheers, Aaron.
