Template: a word which will be revised.
Block: the part which will be replaced or cloned.
Main Use: to generate word dynamically.
Advantage: focus only on dynamic data and logic, rather than adjusting the style, which can modulate the template with the help of office word.
- PHP Package.
- Both can be used to generate office word.
- PHPword concentrates on writing elements one by one. However, it is more powerful and efficient for Mdword just to revise them on the template.
- For updating text styles, adding covers, headers and footers, MDword just modifies the template by office word, while PHPword complicate the task-adjusting every element.
- Directories(Table of content) can be automatically generated.
// Method 1
composer require mkdreams/mdword
// Method 2, Autoloading Template
require_once('Autoloader.php');

Invocation Methods (more and richer approaches, for example: tests\samples\simple for readme, such as catalog, sequence number, etc.)
