Tornado (v2.9.7) - Template Guide

(NOV 2023)

This manual is intended to be a complete reference for template authors responsible for designing Docmosis templates.

Designing a template is a combination of:

  • formatting and laying out the document using the features of a word processor such as Microsoft Word or LibreOffice Writer.
  • including the special Docmosis syntax within the template to control the injection of data when generating a document.

This manual focuses on the second point.  You will find instructions on how to:

  • Insert text or images into the: body; headers and footers
  • Conditionally add or remove any content
  • Inject repeating data in to tables, bullet lists and numbered lists
  • Modify formatting during document generation based on the data
  • Dynamically insert images, barcodes or watermarking
  • Perform calculations and format numbers and dates
  • and much more...
