Docx handler

DOCX Handler

Use this skill when you need to manipulate .docx files.

Basic Workflow

1. Load document: doc = Document('path/to/template.docx')
2. Iterate paragraphs/tables and replace placeholder text.
3. Save document: doc.save('path/to/output.docx')

Handling Placeholders

Use a simple text replacement for paragraphs and tables:

from docx import Document

def replace_text(doc, old_text, new_text):
    for paragraph in doc.paragraphs:
        if old_text in paragraph.text:
            paragraph.text = paragraph.text.replace(old_text, new_text)
    
    for table in doc.tables:
        for row in table.rows:
            for cell in row.cells:
                for paragraph in cell.paragraphs:
                    if old_text in paragraph.text:
                        paragraph.text = paragraph.text.replace(old_text, new_text)

doc = Document('template.docx')
replace_text(doc, '{{NAME}}', 'John Doe')
doc.save('output.docx')

Handling Conditional Blocks

For conditional sections (e.g., {{IF_TAG}}...{{END_IF_TAG}}):

1. Identify the paragraph(s) containing the opening and closing tags.
2. If condition is true: remove tags, keep content.
3. If condition is false: remove paragraph(s) containing the tags and everything between them.
