html-to-docx

@turbodocx/html-to-docx is a powerful JavaScript library designed to convert HTML documents to DOCX format, compatible with Microsoft Word 2007+, LibreOffice Writer, Google Docs, WPS Writer, and other word processors. Inspired by @PrivateOmega, this is supported by TurboDocx to ensure ongoing development and improvements.

While @turbodocx/html-to-docx is robust and used in production environments, it is continually evolving. Please ensure it meets your specific needs through thorough testing. Note that it currently does not work directly in the browser.

Use the npm to install the project.

npm install @turbodocx/html-to-docx

Currently page break can be implemented by having div with classname "page-break" or style "page-break-after" despite the values of the "page-break-after", and contents inside the div element will be ignored. <div class="page-break" style="page-break-after: always;"></div>

CSS list-style-type for <ol> element are now supported. Just do something like this in the HTML:

  <ol style="list-style-type:lower-alpha;">
    <li>List item</li>
    ...
  </ol>

List of supported list-style-types:

• upper-alpha, will result in A. List item
• lower-alpha, will result in a. List item
• upper-roman, will result in I. List item
• lower-roman, will result in i. List item
• lower-alpha-bracket-end, will result in a) List item
• decimal-bracket-end, will result in 1) List item
• decimal-bracket, will result in (1) List item
• decimal, (the default) will result in 1. List item

Also you could add attribute data-start="n" to start the numbering from the n-th.

<ol data-start="2"> will start the numbering from ( B. b. II. ii. 2. )

Font family doesnt work consistently for all word processor softwares

• Word Desktop work as intended
• LibreOffice ignores the fontTable.xml file, and finds a font by itself
• Word Online ignores the fontTable.xml file, and finds closest font in their font library
