Hello,

We recommend you to read in detail the documentation available on this page: http://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/introduction/html-to-word-PHP

It explains all supported tag and styles. If the style or tag is not explicity detailed on this page, then it's not officially supported.

For example about font-size, the units may be pixels, points or ems...

And a paragraph custom style can't be applied to a chunk of text, only to the whole paragraph.

We recommend you to use strictWordStyles as false with your own template that is a more flexible approach; or use more than once embedHtml to add each HTML content. To set some rPr attributes (font-size, color, position), this is styles for a run of text, you need to set the strictWordStyles as false. There's no need, but some special cases, to set strictWordStyles always as true.

Regards.

Believe me, I have read that page many times.

>>And a paragraph custom style can't be applied to a chunk of text

I am not trying to apply a paragraph style, I am trying to apply a character style to a <span>.  This guy had the same problem.  Was it ever solved?

http://www.phpdocx.com/en/forum/default/topic/536

The documentation states: "One may associate different Word styles to HTML classes, ids or tags."  I have tried associating an imported style to a classed <span>, it does not work.  I have tried associating an imported style to a tag, it does not work except for certain tags (<h1>, <h2>, etc).  I know the imported style is valid because when I apply it to the text after the docx is created, it works.  

I tried setting strictWordStyles = false, and while inline styles are then processed, some of my custom styles are not fully applied.  

It just seems that with strictWordStyles=true, there should be SOME way to apply a custom style to a classed <span>.  According to the documentation it should work, but I have not had any success.  Is it possible for you to create a simple example demonstrating that it does work?

Thanks.

Hello,

UPDATE: phpdocx 9.5 added support  for custom character styles when importing HTML.

No, there isn't support of Word character styles when importing HTML; you need to add them setting strictWordStyles as false and through HTML styles; or don't use HTML content but native methods: addList, addText, WordFragments...

It's explained on the documentation pages:

'One may use native Word styles for paragraphs and tables.'

To set span styles you need to set strictWordStyles as false and add the styles inline or through CSS. If some styles aren't applied then they're not supported.

Regards.

I figured out how to accomplish what I needed by modifying HTML2WordML.inc:

case 'sub':
case 'sup':
case 'span':
   if ($nodo['nodeName'] == 'sub') {self::$openScript = 'subscript';}
   if ($nodo['nodeName'] == 'sup') {self::$openScript = 'superscript';}
   self::$WordML .= $this->closePreviousTags($depth, $nodo['nodeName']);
   if(!empty($nodo['attributes']['class'][0])){
      self::$WordML .= '<w:rPr><w:rStyle w:val="'.$nodo['attributes']['class'][0].'"/></w:rPr>';
   }
   self::$openTags[$depth] = $nodo['nodeName'];
   break;
case '#text':

This allows me to assign character classes to <sup>s, <sub>s, and <span>s even  when strictWordStyles = true.  It works well except that the class is not applied if the <span> or <sup> is the first element in a <p>.  It's probably something missing in the WordML I am inserting...  My workaround is to insert a zero-length-space (&#8203;) preceding <span>s and <sup>s.  Then it works fine.

I have one more issue I need to handle concerning how to embed footnotes in strings containing HTML.  I'll post about it later.

Thanks.
