Convert Html String to word document

[Sarvana]

I have tried converting HTML string to word document. But am getting error  "docio support only well formatted xhtml". Here is my code sample 

               string htmlText = htmlContent;

               WordDocument wordDocument = new WordDocument();

               IWSection section = wordDocument.AddSection();

               section.Body.IsValidXHTML(new XhtmlString(htmlText), wordDocument.XHTMLValidateOption);

               section.Body.InsertXHTML(htmlContent);

       wordDocument.Save("Sample.doc", FormatType.Html, Response, HttpContentDisposition.InBrowser);

Above is my code, can you help me in this.Thanks.,

Hi Sarvana,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.

Essential DocIO supports converting the HTML file into Word document and vice versa. It supports HTML with XHTML 1.0 compliant for HTML conversion. We suspect that the input HTML doesn’t meet XHTML 1.0 compliant, so the reported problem occurs at your end.

Please refer the below UG documentation link to know more about converting the HTML file into Word document using DocIO:

Hi Saravana,

Thank you for your update.

We have tried in the sample application as provided in our previous update (Updated on 7/18/2019) using your input file which is mailed through our Syncfusion support(HtmlFile), it throws not well formatted exception. On further analyzed your given input text file, we have found that it is not in the standard format of XHTML 1.0 compliant. Essential DocIO supports HTML with XHTML 1.0 compliant for converting HTML file to Word document and vice versa.

We suspect that the code snippet or HTML string used at your end is differed from the file you sent. So please share us the proper input text file and modified code snippet in sample application which is updated (Updated on 7/18/2019).

Based on the above details, we will analyze further on the reported problem and will provide you the appropriate solution at the earliest.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

From the given details, we suspect that you are using Essential PDF library to convert HTML into PDF directly (without any intermediate conversion) so, the reported problem doesn’t occurred at your end.  

Essential DocIO is a Word library which supports HTML with XHTML 1.0 compliant for HTML conversions. As mentioned in our previous update, we have found that the input HTML content doesn’t meet the standard format of XHTML 1.0 compliant. So, it throws error while converting given HTML to Word document using Essential DocIO.

To resolve this problem at your end, we suggest you modify the input HTML string into well formatted HTML string with XHTML 1.0 compliant and then convert into Word document using DocIO.
