Python Docx Template
python-docx-template is a template engine for generating Microsoft Word documents by merging .docx files with data contexts using a logic-based markup syntax. It functions as a document automator that injects variables, images, and sub-documents into Word files while maintaining the original styling.
The project uses a rendering system based on Jinja2 to apply template logic and filters to Office Open XML files. It allows for the creation of custom template filters to transform data during the rendering phase and includes a command line interface for producing documents by passing a template and data context.
The engine covers conditional structure control for paragraphs, table rows, and columns, as well as the embedding of sub-documents and dynamic image insertion. It handles rich text automation through dynamic styling of colors and fonts, manages table layouts including cell spanning, and provides detection for missing variables in the data context.
Features
- DOCX Automation Libraries - Provides a library for injecting variables, images, and sub-documents into Word files while preserving styling.
- Data-Driven Document Generation - Populates content dynamically within files using a markup syntax based on a provided data context.
- Document Content Manipulation - Programmatically modifies the underlying OpenXML structure to inject dynamic content while preserving native formatting.
- Word Processing Document Generation - Creates Microsoft Word files by merging a template with a data context using a logic-based markup syntax.
- Document Templating Systems - Implements a logic-based engine for building complex documents with conditional sections and sub-documents.
- Dynamic Report Generation - Provides the ability to generate professional reports by merging data contexts with Word templates.
- Structural Content Injection - Inserts variables and logic into paragraphs, tables, and columns using specialized tags to maintain structure.
- Dynamic Document Generators - Uses a Jinja2-based rendering system to inject logic and real-time data into Office Open XML templates.
- Template Engines - Functions as a template engine that merges .docx files with data using a logic-based markup syntax.
- Structural Conditional Logic - Conditionally adds or removes entire paragraphs, table rows, and columns using specialized tags.
- Context-Aware Variable Resolution - Implements mechanisms for retrieving values from data objects based on template scopes and hierarchical context.
- Jinja2 Template Renderers - Uses a Jinja2-based rendering engine to apply logic and filters to document content.
- Rich Text Document Automation - Allows programmatic injection of custom colors, fonts, and rich text formatting into documents.
- Command-Line Document Processors - Provides a command-line interface to automate document generation by passing template files and data contexts.
- Recursive Template Merging - Integrates the XML content of external files into the main document stream to support nested templates.
- Embedded Media Replacements - Swaps existing images or embedded objects in the body, headers, or footers with new files.
- XML Media Embeddings - Embeds image files and media objects by directly manipulating the underlying OpenXML relationship and target definitions.
- Sub-document Embedding - Inserts the contents of another file or programmatically generated document into a template variable.
- Bulk Document Templating - Uses a command line interface or script to produce many customized Word files from a single template and data source.
- Image Insertion Utilities - Embeds images into the document at runtime by specifying file paths and dimensions.
- Data Transformation Filters - Enables the creation of custom filters to transform data directly during the template rendering phase.
- Rich Text Styling - Provides capabilities for applying dynamic inline formatting such as custom colors, fonts, and sizes.
