Hi
I have a requirement where i need to embed html [ or set html] to content controls in a word document. Users enter data using Sharepoint. There are few html content controls in the list. Once they fill out the form, they click on publish. This is where i need to generate a docx file. all i need to do is set the html to content controls. How do i do it. ?
Hi Sekhar,
This is a difficult problem, and requires a development effort. One approach is to use the HtmlAgilityPack on CodePlex to parse the html, and then generate Open XML WordprocessingML markup. If you are going to honor CSS styles, then the task becomes even more difficult.
