doc.process({"[SUPERPOWER]" => {text: "Bug Fixing!!!!"}})

IO.write "./powers.docx", doc.to_zip_buffer.string

HTML content

doc = OpenXml::TemplateDocument.new(path: "[path to template]")
doc.process({"[SUPERPOWER]" => {text: "<h1>Bug Fixing!!!!</h1>", html: true}})

HTML with images

doc = OpenXml::TemplateDocument.new(path: "[path to template]")
