Error export to Doc

[Rafael Ortiz]

Hello, I am trying to generate a word from the information that a SfRichTextEditor contains, but doing so throws me this error.

The component string has two base64 images along with text and format.

The 'img' start tag on line 1 position 65 does not match the end tag of 'p'. Line 1, position 32412. ---> System.Xml.XmlException: The 'img' start tag on line 1 position 65 does not match the end tag of 'p'. Line 1, position 32412.

Hi Rafael,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.

Essential DocIO supports only well formatted HTML. We use XmlReader for parsing the content of input HTML. So, the input HTML should meet the XML standard (have proper open and close tags).

From given details, we suspect, the html string is not having a proper end tag for <img> tag. So, the exception occurs at your end. Therefore, we suggest you add proper </img> end tag for <img> start tag and then use that well formatted HTML in DocIO.

Please refer our UG documentation to know more about HTML to Word conversion:
https://help.syncfusion.com/file-formats/docio/html

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Hello, the html string is retrieved from the HtmlText method of the SfRichTextEditor component, I attach it as it is collected.

htmlstring = I attach it as it is collected.

using (WordDocument document = new WordDocument())
                        {

                            byte[] byteArray = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(htmlstring);

                            //Loads or opens an existing Word document from stream
                            Stream inputStream = new MemoryStream(byteArray);

                            //Loads or opens an existing Word document through Open method of WordDocument class
                            document.Open(inputStream, FormatType.Html);

                            //Creates an instance of memory stream
                            MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();

                            //Saves the document to stream
                            document.Save(stream, FormatType.Docx);

                            //Closes the document
                            document.Close();

                            //Save the stream as a file in the device and invoke it for viewing
                            Xamarin.Forms.DependencyService.Get<ISaveExport>().Save("HTMLtoWord.docx", "application/msword", stream);

Hi Rafael,

Thank you for your update.

We can reproduce the reported problem with “DocIO support only welformatted xhtml” exception at our end. We have found your input html string is not well formatted. Essential DocIO supports only well formatted.

On analyzing further, we found, the given html string is not having a proper end tag. So, we suggest you to add proper end tags for each start tag and then use that well formatted HTML in DocIO.

We have modified the given HTML string by adding the proper end tags for <img> and <br> tags to resolve the reported problem. It can be downloaded from the below link:
