    I have an HTML table that has multiple rowspans in one row. The docx looks great, but when I convert it to PDF, only the last rowspan is coming over correctly. Here's an example table: <table border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse; width:100%"> <tbody> <tr> <td rowspan="2">1_1</td> <td>1_2</td> <td rowspan="2">1_3</td> <td>1_4</td> <td rowspan="2">1_5</td> </tr> <tr> <td>2_1</td> <td>2_2</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> In the PDF, only 1_5 is spanning two rows, 1_1 and 1_3 just have a blank cell below them.

    Hello, The problem comes from the table auto width, that LibreOffice has some differences with Word. To use this auto value, its the default, you must set a value to w:w tag in the w:gridCol. To do this please edit the HTML2WordML, and change this line (around 1343): self::$WordML = str_replace('#<w:gridCol/>#', str_repeat('<w:gridCol/>', $column), self::$WordML); to: self::$WordML = str_replace('#<w:gridCol/>#', str_repeat('<w:gridCol w:w="1"/>', $column), self::$WordML); Regards.

    That did it, thanks! Is this something that will be fixed in future versions, or is there a non-code workaround?

    Hello, For now, it's a workaround but it'll be added in a next release using its own class. Regards.
