mlreportgen.dom.Document.createTemplate

11-27

Input Arguments

path — Path for new template

string

If you use the path argument without the type argument, for a Word template, include

the .dotx extension and for an HTML template, include the .htmx extension.

If you use both the path and type arguments, and path does not have an extension, the

createTemplate method appends the appropriate extension (.dotx or .htmx).

type — Type of output

'html' (default) | 'docx' | 'html-file'

Type of output, specified as 'html', 'docx' or 'html-file'.

• 'html'— HTML output HTML output as a zipped or unzipped folder containing the

HTML document text, image, style sheet, and JavaScript files

• 'docx'— Word output

• 'html-file'— HTML output consisting of a single file that contains the text, style

sheets, JavaScript®, and images for the report

If you specify a template using the path argument, the template must be consistent with

the type argument. You must specify a Word template (.dotx) for Word output, an

HTML template package (.htmtx) for HTML output, and a single-file HTML template

(.html) for html-file output.

Tips

Invoke createTemplate on the mlreportgne.dom.Document class itself, but not

on an instance of that class. In other words, use Document.createTemplate, not

myDocument.createTemplate (where myDocument is a derived class of Document).
