After great feedback by Svetlin<\/a>, also after some more contemplation about tables, this post presents the second iteration on a template document to be used for a document generation process.<\/p>\n

This post is the third in a series of blog posts. Here is the complete list: Generating Open XML WordprocessingML Documents Blog Post Series<\/a><\/p>\n

One additional goal that I have for these document templates is that if necessary, the template designer can specify formatting for a field or for a cell in a table. To facilitate this, I\u2019m going add the capability to specify the style in a separate nested content control.<\/p>\n

In the following template, there are five content controls. The first is a value with a style. The second is a value that uses the style of the containing paragraph. The third generates a table from the query. The table is formatted with the table style of the sample table. The fourth shows conditional content. The last specifies that the user should be asked a question, the answer to which must be shorter than 256 characters.<\/p>\n

I am certain that the design for this document template will be refined over the next couple of weeks.<\/p>\n
