docxtemplater

docxtemplater is a library to generate docx/pptx documents from a docx/pptx template. It can replace {placeholders} with data and also supports loops and conditions. The templates can be edited by non-programmers, for example your clients.

docxtemplater is very robust because of the many fixed issues over the years, and the high quality of tests and code.
