setTemplateSymbol

setTemplateSymbol

BASIC / ADVANCED / PREMIUM

Sets the character used to identify placeholder variables within a given template.

Description
public void setTemplateSymbol(String templateSymbol)
public void setTemplateSymbol(String templateSymbolStart, String templateSymbolEnd)

By default the javadocx template variables have to be wrapped by dollar symbols ($).

You can change that symbol by any other you wish with the help of this method.

The character or symbol used to wrap template variables may be:

  • The same at the beginning and the end (setting only templateSymbol): $VAR$, #VAR#...
  • Different at the beginning and the end: ${VAR}. javadocx requires using ${ } to wrap placeholders that don't use the same symbol at the beginning and the end, to use other symbols the public static variable CreateDocxFromTemplate.regExprVariableSymbols must be customized.

Parameters

templateSymbol / templateSymbolStart

The character or symbol to be used for identifying placeholder variables within templates.

templateSymbolEnd

The character or symbol to be used at the end for identifying placeholder variables within templates.

javadocx requires using ${ } to wrap placeholders that don't use the same symbol at the beginning and the end, to use other symbols the public static variable CreateDocxFromTemplate.regExprVariableSymbols must be customized.
