Text replacement

Docgen replaces placeholders in the template document with values obtained from a list of key-value pairs, where the key matches the text of the placeholder.

For example, assume a plain text template document contains the following line:

Welcome to beautiful ::class location::!

Further assume the following key-value pair is defined in the database (the exact format is not important for this example):

"class location" => "Portland, Oregon"

When docgen processes the file, it will replace the text "::class location::" in the template document with the value "Portland, Oregon" from the database. The resulting file will contain the line:

Welcome to beautiful Portland, Oregon!

Text replacement works for all supported file types.
