Generate templated documents within Django in any format supported by LibreOffice: texts, spreadsheets, presentations etc.

• Free software: MIT license
• Documentation: https://templated-docs.readthedocs.io.

Requirements

• Python 2.7 or 3.4+
• Django >= 1.8
• A recent LibreOffice version (>=4.3.0) supporting LibreOfficeKit API.

.. include:: docs/partial/libffi-warning.rst

Example usage

Create a sample.odt document (make sure it's in OpenDocument format) and put it in your Django templates folder. It should look something like this:

.. image:: https://github.com/alexmorozov/templated-docs/raw/master/docs/document-template.png

Then write a view to generate documents from this template:

.. code-block:: python

    from templated_docs import fill_template
    from templated_docs.http import FileResponse

    def get_document(request):
        """
        A view to get a document filled with context variables.
        """
        context = {'user': request.user}  # Just an example

        filename = fill_template('sample.odt', context, output_format='pdf')
        visible_filename = 'greeting.pdf'

        return FileResponse(filename, visible_filename)

Navigate to the url your view is connected to, and you'll see a rendered and converted document:
