Options

If you need to pass an option object to configure docxtemplater you can do using templateOptions.
For example you can configure docxtemplater to parse \n as a linebreak in the document

const options = {
  template: {
    filePath: 'test/data/testdoc.docx',
    data: {
      title: 'This is the title',
      description: 'Description is good',
      body: 'My body is \n my temple'
    }
  },
  templateOptions: {
      linebreaks: true
  },
  save: {
    filePath: 'test/data/savedfile.docx'
  }
}
