HTMLJMerge

This is an incredibly simple HTML mail merge library. It contains many examples with in the source. HTMLJMerge can also build barcodes from the mail merge data. All images merged are merged into the HTML as a Base 64 codec stream, so all of the HTML document is in the one file.
This is version 1.1.0, and has been since 2018. I still use it occasionally so it isn't stale. The only changes I have made it to move to java 17.

Background

I started out doing a mail merge for ODF not using OpenOffice or LibreOffice. This proved to be useful but unstable. OOJMerge is still on source forge, but I've given up trying to keep up with the subtle changes to the content.xml file in the ODF, mostly in reference of tables (reasonably important for a mail merge that is for, say, an invoices). HTML is more tolerant and more open, so I applied the mail merge concept to HTML files. It is cleaner, faster and more stable then the OOJMerge. It should never be affected by changes to the HTML standards.

Libraries

Commons codec from Apache is required for the images and barcodes.
PD4ML Is not required, but is useful to convert the HTML to PDF. Quite cheep. You only need the STD version.

Future

I'll keep adding stuff to the library if and when it occurs to me or anyone else using this library.
