Templates
=========
You can create a docx template with included search-patterns that can be
replaced by any value you wish. Only single-line values can be replaced.
To load a template file, use the ``loadTemplate`` method. After loading
the docx template, you can use the ``setValue`` method to change the
value of a search pattern. The search-pattern model is:
``${search-pattern}``. It is not possible to add new PHPWord elements to
a loaded template file.
Example:
.. code:: php
$template = $PHPWord->loadTemplate('Template.docx');
$template->setValue('Name', 'Somebody someone');
$template->setValue('Street', 'Coming-Undone-Street 32');
