odoo-addon-report-docx 16.0.1.0.0.3

Use Cases / Context

This module was developed because for some users it is easier to use the docx format for their templates.

As it uses a slightly different templating language, it is not a drop-in replacement for report_py3o.

It also does not provide any format conversions, though it should be pretty simple to write a glue module that converts the resulting docx files to formats supported by report_py3o.

Installation

To install this module, you need to:

pip install docxtpl
