    I'm trying to get a variable to have a different background dependant upon the value.

    e.g. 1 would be red, 2 would be orange and 3 would be green.




    
I've tried doing:
    
$code = '<head><style type="text/css">body{font-family: Arial;font-size:11pt;background-color: yellow;}</style></head><body>9</body>';
    
$docx->addTemplateVariable('FIELD_BK',$code, 'html');


    but this doesn't do anything.  Any pointers would be greatfully received.



    Thanks.

    Hello,



    I recommend you replaceTemplateVariableByHtml. Please try this code:



    $html = '<span style="font-family: Arial;font-size:11pt;background-color: yellow;">9</span>';

    $docx->replaceTemplateVariableByHtml('FIELD_BK', 'inline', $html);



    Regards.

    Hi,



    thanks for the reponse, I switched over to using:




    
$html = '<span style="font-family: Arial;font-size:11pt;background-color: yellow;">9</span>';
    
$docx->replaceTemplateVariableByHTML('FIELD_BK', 'inline', $html);


    but I still don't get a highlighted background.



    I tried setting the colour with a #ffff00 with the same result.  Any other suggestions would be greatly welcomed.

    Hello,



    Sorry, background-color is supported by <p> (and other tags like tables, lists...). This is a tested example:



    $html = '<p style="font-family: Arial;font-size:11pt;background-color: yellow;">9</p>';

    $docx->replaceTemplateVariableByHTML('FIELD_BK', 'inline', $html);



    Regards.
