        {'type': 'Fruit', 'names': ['Apple', 'Banana']},
        {'type': 'Vegetable', 'names': ['Carrot', 'Onion']},
    ]
}

tpl.render(context)
tpl.save('output/result.docx')

            'type': 'Fruit', 'items': [
                {
                    'name':'Apple', 
                    'colours':[
                      'green', 
                      'red'
                    ]},
                {
                    'name':'Banana', 
                    'colours':[
                        'yellow'
                    ]
                }
            ]
        },
        {
            'type': 'Vegetable', 'items': [
                {
                    'name':'Carrot', 
                    'colours':[
                        'orange'
                    ]
                },
                {
                    'name':'Onion', 
                    'colours':[
                        'white', 
                        'red'
                    ]
                },
