API DOCUMENTATION

Clone blocks

javadocx includes several methods to work with block elements. These elements allow to define regions made of one or more contents in a DOCX, which can be cleaned of placeholders, deleted and cloned.

cloneBlock is a method that allows to clone all the content of a block. This method is available in Advanced and Premium licenses only.

For example, to clone the content of the region enclosed by the $BLOCK_TABLES$ placeholders, type this code:

<?php

require_once 'classes/CreateDocx.php';

$docx = new CreateDocxFromTemplate('template.docx');

$docx->cloneBlock('TABLES');

$docx->createDocx('document');

Note that to call the cloneBlock method you have to write the placeholder identifier without neither the $BLOCK_ prefix nor the final $ symbol.
