Variable

Classes for ODF document variables and fields.

This module provides classes for various types of document fields that can be automatically updated, such as dates, times, page numbers, and document metadata (e.g., author, title). It also includes classes for declaring and managing custom variables (‘text:variable-set’, ‘text:variable-get’).

Classes:

Name	Description
VarChapter	A chapter field, “text:chapter”.
VarCreationDate	A creation date field, “text:creation-date”.
VarCreationTime	A creation time field, “text:creation-time”.
VarDate	A date field, “text:date”.
VarDescription	A description field, “text:description”.
VarFileName	A file name field, “text:file-name”.
VarGet	A variable getter, “text:variable-get”.
VarInitialCreator	An initial creator field, “text:initial-creator”.
VarKeywords	A keywords field, “text:keywords”.
VarPageCount	A page count field, “text:page-count”.
VarPageNumber	A page number field, “text:page-number”.
VarSet	A variable setter, “text:variable-set”.
VarSubject	A subject field, “text:subject”.
VarTime	A time field, “text:time”.
VarTitle	A title field, “text:title”.
