setTemplateSymbol

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

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.

Code samples

Example #1

package examples.Templates.setTemplateSymbol;

import java.util.HashMap;

import com.javadocx.CreateDocxFromTemplate;

public class Sample1 {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        CreateDocxFromTemplate docx = new CreateDocxFromTemplate("src/examples/files/TemplatePipeSymbol.docx");
        
        docx.setTemplateSymbol("|");
        
        HashMap<String, String> variables = new HashMap<String, String>();
        variables.put("FIRST", "Hello World!");
        
        docx.replaceVariableByText(variables);
        
        docx.createDocx("example_setTemplateSymbol_1");
    }
}
