        # Bureaucracy
        
        Bureaucracy is a library that allows you to use .docx templates as
        templates using MailMerge fields and can save them as docx's or pdfs. It 
        can insert plain text, images, tables and (simple) HTML. See 
        [django-bureaucracy](https://bitbucket.org/maykinmedia/django-bureaucracy)
        for some mild django integration.
        
        ## Usage 
        
        ### Example
        
        ```python
        
        from bureaucracy import DocxTemplate, HTML, Image, Table
        
        doc = DocxTemplate('examples/sample.docx')
        
        context = {
            'table': Table(data=[['this is the first cell of the first row', 'this is the second cell of the first row'],
                                  ['the second row', 'etc'], 
                                  ['etc', 'etc]], 
                           headers=['header 1', 'header 2']),
            'image': Image('pigeon.jpg')
            'html': HTML(<p><strong>bold</strong>-notbold</p><ul><li>hop</li><li>la</li><li>kee</li></ul>")
            'text': 'some text',
        }
        
        doc.render_and_save('generated.docx', context)
        doc.render_and_save('generated.pdf', context, format='pdf')
            
        ```
        
        ### Inserting mail merge fields
        
        Bureaucracy expects the .docx-files passed to the `DocxTemplate` constructor
        to contain MailMerge fields whose names correspond to the ones used 
        in the context dict. How this is done exactly depends on the version of
        Office you have, but it seems that it's always a variation on Insert > Field > Mail Merge > Mergefield
        and then entering the name:
        
        ![What it looks like on Office Mac 2015](docs/mailmerge_mac.png?raw=true "Mailmerge on mac")
        
        
        ## Installation
        
        
        ```
        pip install -e git+https://bitbucket.org/maykinmedia/bureaucracy.git#egg=bureaucracy-0.1
        ```
        
        
        Note that although this will install the pypandoc dependency, that package
        makes use of the pandoc executable whose installation sometimes fails. 
        To work around this, install pandoc on it's own with your favorite package manager and
        make it available on the path.
        
        For the pdf generation, bureaucracy needs the LibreOffice soffice executable 
        to be installed and on the path.
