Office 2013 and new content controls

[balrog]

Hi Jason,

As Microsoft said, there is new content controls in Office2013 http://msdn.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/office/jj889465.aspx and I want to know if in the future docx4java will be able to work with these new content controls. For exemple the wdContentControlRepeatingSection is really cool cause for the moment we need to use OpenDope plugin, for work with loops. So, do you plan to release a new version soon?

Thank's

We're planning to support the relevant proprietary schema in docx4j 3.0, so nothing gets dropped by JAXB.

You can follow https://github.com/plutext/docx4j/issues/54

Supporting wdContentControlRepeatingSection would then be possible using code similar to what is in OpenDoPEHandler, but there are no plans to include this in v3.

As from now, GitHub master will retain this element (and other important Word 2010 & 2013 extensions), as will docx4j 3.0, when released.

docx4j's binding implementation won't process it though. Maybe that'll come in 3.1.
