[fpc-pascal] Use OpenDocument (.odt) files as templates

2017-12-01 Thread Luiz Americo Pereira Camara
Does someone knows a component to use OpenDocument (.odt) files as
templates to generate a .odt output file given some data?

Something like https://github.com/opensagres/xdocreport but for pascal.

A c library exported as a dll could work also

And? FPC is not debian/linux only.

Given ESR's recent (or not so recent, as I only found it today) rant
http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=7711
there may be unexpected support in unexpected places, as even the old towers of 
C seem to crumble ;)

(lwn.net seems to be attracting a lot of various articles about a lot of 
languages,
 but I haven't seen one about Pascal like, ever...)

(I am not even a subscriber to lwn so my emails probably go to /dev/null,
 but if the Foundation put up a press release or two there, maybe they'd 
publish that)

Yes, there is still pretty good interest in Object Pascal in Brazil —
I have been
writing in a blog[1] for 2 years and it still growing — but it's not
like it used to be in
Delphi 5~7 many years ago.

Very good.

I agree.
