gooxml is a library for creation of OpenOffice documents (.docx, .xlsx and .pptx).
The current focus is on documents (.docx). Some other code exists for spreadsheets and presentations, but it is even less complete. The current plan is to get documents working well, then spreadsheets, and finally presentations.
go get baliance.com/gooxml/
go build -i baliance.com/gooxml/...

The OOXML specification is large and creating a friendly API to cover the entire specification is a very time consuming endeavor. This library attempts to provide an easy to use API for common use cases in creating OOXML documents while allowing users to fall back to raw document manipulation should the library's API not cover a specific use case.
The raw XML based types reside in the schema/ directory. These types are
accessible from the wrapper types via a X() method that returns the raw
type.
For example, the library currently doesn't have an API for setting a document
background color. However it's easy to do manually via editing the
CT_Background element of the document.
dox := document.New()
doc.X().Background = wordprocessingml.NewCT_Background()
doc.X().Background.ColorAttr = &wordprocessingml.ST_HexColor{}
doc.X().Background.ColorAttr.ST_HexColorRGB = color.RGB(50, 50, 50).AsRGBString()
