The '''`putdocx`''' command is used for generating Word Documents.

<<TableOfContents>>

----



== Usage ==

{{{
putdocx begin, footer(foot1) header(head1)

putdocx paragraph, style(Title)
putdocx text ("Document Title")

putdocx paragraph, style(Heading1)
putdocx text ("Section Heading")

putdocx save foo.docx
}}}



=== Tables ===

To insert a table, first it must be stored in a matrix.

{{{
tab foo bar, matcell(foobar)
}}}

Then try:

{{{
putdocx table foobar = etable
}}}

The table can then be accessed by by `NAME(ROW,COL)`.

{{{
putdocx table foobar(1,.), bold
putdocx table foobar(.,1), halign(left)
putdocx table foobar(3,.), drop
putdocx table foobar(1,1) = ("FOOBAR")
}}}



=== Headers and Footers ===

Try:

{{{
putdocx paragraph, tofooter(Foot1)
putdocx text("Page Number ")
}}}

----



== External Content ==

External graphs can be inserted.

{{{
graph export foo.png
putdocx image foo.png, height(1) width(1)
}}}

Note that dimensions are measured in inches.

External text can also be inserted.

{{{
putdocx textfile foo.txt
}}}

The content of the external file is inserted from the cursor position. Use the '''`stopat(pattern)`''' option to halt insertion at some pattern match; the cursor will remain at that point.

----



== Dynamic Tags ==

Dynamic tags are used to insert computed values.

{{{
putdocx textblock begin
Substitution: <<dd_docx_display: `total'>>.
putdocx textblock end
}}}

These can also be appended using `putdocx textblock append`.
