Hello,
Sorry if its not too related.....but...
Does anybody know a documentation that would show how to create a
openoffice template and then fill in the data from an xml?
1. I have an existing xml with a structure
2. I have an existing openoffice document/form
3. I want to fill in information like: Firstname, lastname...etc
4. I want to easly move the xml data to the openoffice form.
5. I will automate the transfer using python uno later on (unless xslt
will do it for me)
What I'm looking for is a way to define field names in a form that
would correspond to a xml. I don't want to translate xml nodes to some
field name but I would rather do:
xml:
<ClientApp>
<Org>my company</Org>
<Name>Full name of the comapny</Name>
<Version>1.02 (4.02)</Version>
</ClientApp>
in my openoffice template create a table and fill it in like this:
| ClientApp.Name | ClientApp.Version |
Anybody did anything like that? Its like a mailmerge, but for xml to a
form, instead of csv to mailing label.
Thanks,
Lucas
