Hello,

Please send to contact[at]phpdocx.com the username or e-mail of the user that purchased the license.

Also, please attach the most simple template and script that illustrates your issue. We need to run it, so the script shouldn't call external resources (such as databases or web services).

We only have seen that extra blank spaces when Tidy is missing or not enabled, so we need to check your template and script to find the source of your issue.

Regards.

Could you please name the configuration option of tidy, that causes a break for each word?

I have the same issue with phpdox 8.5. When I set removeLineBreaks to true, it removes all spaces in the text.

Hello,

That blank spaces may be due to the vertical-space option from Tidy (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2491657/how-do-i-get-html-tidy-to-not-put-newline-before-closing-tags), but some versions of Tidy may cause this issue.

The next relase of phpdocx will include a new option to clean these breaks that come from some Tidy versions/configurations (line breaks after closing tags). We recommend you to edit the classes/CreateDocx.php file, and change the following lines (in the embedHTML method):

if ($class == 'WordFragment') {
    if (isset($options['removeLineBreaks']) && $options['removeLineBreaks'] == true) {
        $this->wordML .= (string) str_replace(array("\n", "\r\n"), '', $sFinalDocX[0]);
    } else {
        $this->wordML .= (string) $sFinalDocX[0];
    }
} else {
    if (isset($options['removeLineBreaks']) && $options['removeLineBreaks'] == true) {
        $this->_wordDocumentC .= (string) str_replace(array("\n", "\r\n"), '', $sFinalDocX[0]);
    } else {
        $this->_wordDocumentC .= (string) $sFinalDocX[0];
    }
}

with:

if ($class == 'WordFragment') {
    if (isset($options['removeLineBreaks']) && $options['removeLineBreaks'] == true) {
        $this->wordML .= (string) str_replace(array(">\n", ">\r\n"), '>', $sFinalDocX[0]);
    } else {
        $this->wordML .= (string) $sFinalDocX[0];
    }
} else {
    if (isset($options['removeLineBreaks']) && $options['removeLineBreaks'] == true) {
        $this->_wordDocumentC .= (string) str_replace(array(">\n", ">\r\n"), '>', $sFinalDocX[0]);
    } else {
        $this->_wordDocumentC .= (string) $sFinalDocX[0];
    }
}

And set removeLineBreaks as true. This change removes the line breaks after start tags and should fix your issue. If you are not using the classic package but the namespaces one, please keep the namespaces in the same code.

Regards.

Thank you.  I had the same problem, and replacing the embedHTML() code worked for me as well.  I don't think the tidy option makes a difference.

Hello,

After doing a lot of tests, we have checked that some Tidy installations don't respect the wrap option correctly.

Tidy configuration details that setting wrap as 0 disables any line wrapping (http://tidy.sourceforge.net/docs/quickref.html#wrap), but some versions/setups don't respect it. To solve this issue, that happens only in a few weird cases, the easiest solutions are: removing the wrap option or setting the wrap value to a big number.

The Tidy configuration can be found in the DOMPDF_lib.php file in the _load_html method. This is the default setting:

$tidy = tidy_parse_string($str, array('output-xhtml' => true, 'markup' => false, 'wrap' => 0, 'wrap-asp' => false, 'wrap-jste' => false, 'wrap-php' => false, 'wrap-sections' => false), 'utf8');

where wrap can be removed:

$tidy = tidy_parse_string($str, array('output-xhtml' => true, 'markup' => false, 'wrap-asp' => false, 'wrap-jste' => false, 'wrap-php' => false, 'wrap-sections

or set with a high value:

$tidy = tidy_parse_string($str, array('output-xhtml' => true, 'markup' => false, 'wrap' => 1000000, 'wrap-asp' => false, 'wrap-jste' => false, 'wrap-php' => false, 'wrap-sections

Using one of these solutions the extra space issue is solved.

phpdocx 9 added new options to set Tidy wrap settings.

Regards.
