confusing values coming from getVariables()

[rootuser]

Hello,

this issue is somewhat related to this issue: #548

Basically, I have written a function that scans through a directory, identifies all docx files and then scans each for placeholders ( like ${NAME} ) in the text.
If placeholders are found, these are stored in a database table.

This works well so far, but now I noticed that the placeholders are not always delivered correctly by the getVariables() function of PhpWord\TemplateProcessor. For some docx files I get the correct placeholder names, for others I get the names surounded by a bunch of strange xml tags, like
</w:t></w:r><w:r w:rsidR="004F6DA4"><w:t>ADRESSE</w:t></w:r><w:r><w:t>

That is probably the reason why I cannot use the setValue() function on these documents.
When I use the php strip_tags() function on the 'broken' tag first, the setValue() succeeds though.

Do you know of this issue?

Thank you very much,
Tom
