pdx:setTemplateSymbol
Sets the character used to identify placeholder variables within a given template.
Description
Element definition
By default the phpdocx template variables have to be wrapped by dollar symbols ($).
You can change that symbol by any other you wish with the help of this method. It is, of course, convenient to use a symbol reasonably distinguishable from standard text characters.
Make sure that all variables in your template are surrounded by the symbol you have chosen.
Attributes and sub-elements
symbolValue
The symbol you want to use for identifying placeholder variables within templates.
