Sablon.Parser.MailMerge (sablon v0.4.3)

Finds the MailMerge fields in a document part.

Word stores merge fields in two shapes. A simple field is a single w:fldSimple element carrying the whole instruction in its w:instr attribute. A complex field is a sequence of runs delimited by w:fldChar elements, where the instruction is split across w:instrText elements and the visible text lives after the separate marker. Both are represented here so the rest of the pipeline does not have to care which is which.

Functions

@spec parse_fields(Sablon.XML.Node.t()) :: [
  Sablon.Parser.MailMerge.ComplexField.t()
  | Sablon.Parser.MailMerge.SimpleField.t()
]

Returns every valid merge field inside xml_node, in document order.

Fields that are malformed - a complex field without a separate marker, or an instruction that is not a MERGEFIELD - are skipped.
