Conditional Blocks (IF ELSE Fields) with Mail Merge Mustache Microsoft Word Template in Aspose.Words REST API

Aspose.Total Cloud Product Family

Where is the current documentation for MergeTemplate:


https://docs.aspose.com/words/net/mail-merge-and-reporting/
We are currently using word documents with mustache syntax, but would like to move to something newer that can support IF/THEN/ELSE type logic, and it appears that this may be possible using LINQ templates, but the documentation is sparse or non-existant, and initial testing is not working so I’m thinking the LINQ is not available on the Words for Cloud product yet.

Can someone clarify this or point to current documentation.

Thanks

As suggested above you can use conditional blocks in Mustache Template for your requirements. However, since Aspose.Words Cloud 20.5, you can use Aspose LINQ reporting engine in Aspose.Words Cloud as well. We have introduced following API Method for building reports. Hopefully it will help you to accomplish your requirement using Aspose.Words REST API.
