Replace multi-line paragraphs in templates

[rstoeber]

The template feature for modifying docx files is really cool and appears to work perfectly with all of my test documents. However, as the PHPWord documentation says "Only single-line values can be replaced." which means that I can't insert custom paragraphs. Any chance that will be available soon?

@rstoeber It depends on what you actually want. If you want multiple lines in a text, then they are actually separate paragraphs and using cloneBlock() you can grab such paragraphs and make them multiple, then replace the text in each.

${myblock}
${myline}
${/myblock}

If the enters must be inside, say, a listitem (bullet point) without going into a new bullet point, then you actually want a shift-enter, and that is done by inserting a </w:t><w:br/><w:t> at the point where your \n should be. I have a branch that does that, but it has not been merged yet.
