Power Feature: Templating

Doco supports templates, which are really easy to use.

Here are the steps involved in using templates:

• Create a template file, say 'report.dtf'. The extension '.dtf' means "Doco Template File"
• Fill in the template with whatever structure you want, using any Doco conventions you want
• Create Doco variable placeholders for the data you want to be replaceable
• Create a document, say 'my_report.txt' and specify the template's variable placeholders

Doco does the rest!

Here's an example template.

And here's a document that uses the template.

Since both of these files exist in the Doco manual project, you can view the actual generated result to see what it looks like.
