Converting HTML to Word Doc - Css support? | ASP.NET Web Forms Forums

Hi

We are attempting to insert html into a word document using paragraph.AppendHTML(html).

This works fine except that <style> tags don't seem to work. Inline styles work, but normal style selectors and classes do not:

This works (the text is red):

<div style="color:red;">this text should be red</div>

This does not (the text is not red):

<style>

.mydiv {

color: red;

}

</style>

<div class="mydiv">this text should be red</div>

Does DocIO support any style tag conversion at all when it imports html? If not, what is my best approach for creating universal styles for an html based word document?

Hi Andy,

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion products.

Currently DocIO doesn’t have support to preserve CSS in HTML to Word document conversion. We have logged this as a feature request in our database. We will implement this feature in any of our upcoming releases. We usually have an interval of at least three months between releases. The feature implementation would also greatly depend on the factors such as product design, code compatibility and complexity. We will update you when this feature has been implemented.

As a workaround kindly define all the styles inline to preserve desired styles during the conversion process.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Regards,

Sathish

Hi,

I am experiencing the same issues as Andy.

Does the latest version support CSS in HTML, or is this still to be implemented ? I am currently using Essential Studio 12.1.0.43?

Regards

Chris

Hi Andy,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.

DocIO still doesn’t have support to preserve CSS in HTML to Word document conversion. We have a plan to implement this feature in any of our upcoming releases. The feature implementation would also greatly depend on the factors such as product design, code compatibility and complexity. At the moment we are unable to provide concrete timeline for adding this support. We will let you know once this feature has been implemented.

As a workaround kindly define all the CSS styles as inline to preserve desired styles during the conversion process.

Hi Trevor,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.

Currently DocIO doesn’t provide full-fledged support for CSS style sheet in HTML to Word conversion. This feature is to preserve CSS styles while importing HTML files is supported with limited CSS selectors.
The following CSS selectors are supported in Essential DocIO's HTML import functionality at present,
1. IDSelector
2. ClassSelector
3. DescendantSelector
4. ElementSelector
5. ChildSelector

Kindly provide us your input HTML file so that we can analyze further in line with your requirement and provide appropriate solution at the earliest.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Regards,
Poorani Rajendran

Hi Tawani,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.

As mentioned in our previous update (Updated on 7/31/2019), this feature is to preserve CSS styles while importing HTML files is supported with limited CSS selectors (which is mentioned in our previous update). Still, DocIO doesn’t provide full-fledged support for CSS style sheet in HTML to Word conversion. We don’t have any immediate plans to implement this feature. We will let you know when this feature is implemented.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.
