    I am grabbing some HTML from template files and using embedHTML($contents, [ 'isFile' => false, 'downloadImages' => true]); to pass the generated html to phpdocx. However, the generated word doc does not display the images from my img tags. The images are not publicly accessible images (you can't access them from the browser) but this shouldn't be an issue (the image gets pulled in correctly if I manually add it to the doc using addImage, but this won't work for me because I need to display inline images within the html). I have tried using the absolute path in the filesystem, guessed all sorts of relative paths (I noticed the addImage function uses my public folder as the base path), but no luck.

    I am using version 3.7 pro+

    Hello,

    The embedHTML method needs that the images are public to download them. This method doesn't use the same way to get and images than addImage.

    Regards.

    I figured it out. I had to prepend the absolute system path with 'file://' and it worked after that.
