Convert HTML & CSS to DOC(X)?
Is there some utility that could be called via command line to produce a doc(x) file? The source file would be HTML and CSS.
I am trying to generate Word documents on the fly with PHP. I am only aware of phpdocx library, which is very low level and not much use for me (I already have one poor implementation of Word document generation).
What I need from a document:
- TOC
- Images
- Footers/Headers (they could be manually made on each HTML page)
- Table
- Lists
- Page break (able to decide what goes to which page, eg one HTML file per page, join multiple HTML files to produce the entire document.)
- Paragraphs
- Basic bold/etc styles
Answer
I didn't find PHPDOCX very useful either. An alternative could be PHPWord, i think it covers what you need. According the website it can do these things:
- Insert and format document sections
- Insert and format Text elements
- Insert Text breaks
- Insert Page breaks
- Insert and format Images and binary OLE-Objects
- Insert and format watermarks (new)
- Insert Header / Footer
- Insert and format Tables
- Insert native Titles and Table-of-contents
- Insert and format List elements
- Insert and format hyperlinks
- Very simple template system (new)
In your case that isn't enough, but there is a plugin available to convert (basic) HTML to Docx and it works very good in my opinion. http://htmltodocx.codeplex.com/
I am using this for a year or two now and am happy with it. Altough i have to add that the HTML can't be to complex.
