Overview

The Word export enables you to use Word documents as templates. The documents contain text fragments formed according to the template language. When you generate an export using such a template the text fragments contained in the Word file are executed and the contents of the exported Word file are generated accordingly.

The template language consists of a rich set of statements and expressions. These allow you to iterate over a set of issues and integrate issue field values into the resulting Word document.
