Simple tool to add variables in content, title, header, and footer. Great way to add easy replacements in docs and templates!
I created this add on because we have a lot of contracts and proposals that use placeholders for commonly used terms such as Client Name, Project Name, or Addresses. Instead of going through the document and trying to find each placeholder, I created Doc Variables to search for a specific syntax, create a form that could assign the variables, and then replace them all in the content, title, header, or footer. Syntax: ${variable_name} Open up the sidebar and a form will display with all available variables. Enter in assignments/replacements, and then click "Replace Variables". Doc Variables will replace all instances of the collected variables.
Latest Update: Ability to Insert other External Documents using "file variable"
Previous: Custom Date Format, Support for Different First Page Headers/Footers, Dropdown Selections
