// The single paragraph added to the document contains template tags: // - {{#ds}}..{{/ds}} -- root template, 'ds' is the name of the data source; // - {ds.seas.name} -- fetches the sea name; // - :toupper() -- uppercases the data: var p = doc.Body.Paragraphs.Add("{{#ds}}{{ds.seas.name}:toupper()}{{/ds}}", doc.Styles[BuiltInStyleId.ListParagraph]); p.ListFormat.Template = myListTemplate;
