Re: [dev] Using ODT as Template

Hello again,

in the meantime, I have published a new open source library based on 
ODFToolkit, which reads ODT documents as templates and replaces 
placeholders with text, images, tables or even with the contents of 
other documents, so that reusable components can be defined. It is also 
quite simple to add new functionalities by adding freely definable 
placeholders. I wrote that library because I couldn't find one that 
fulfills these requirements, maybe it can help you. Further information 
at: https://underdocx.org and https://github.com/winterrifier/underdocx

Regards, Gerald
