Unable to create a document file using HTML string
abhinovpankaj opened this issue · comments
Please read the example in the README again. You don't need the +++INS
around your htmldata
.
I remember I did try that
template like
+++HTML {htmldata}
+++
createReport looks like below:
const buffer = await docxTemplate.createReport({
template,
data: {
htmldata:htmlString
}
},
);
htmlString is my HTML string which I already have generated using all the props of objects and with styles.
Am I missing anything, I read the documentation.
You dont need the brackets {
and }
around htmldata
.
Tried that too, didn't work.
the report doc just has the text htmldata.
Word app also throws error when I open the report.

Your HTML includes external images. That works fine in a web browser, but AFAIK is not supported when inserting HTML into docx.
Then, how should I move about this? Should I try converting images to base64 and then try, hopefully should work.
Yes, something like that. Note that Microsoft Word only has very limited support for HTML inside docx files. I don't know what exactly is supported and what is not. This is very poorly documented. This library lets you insert any HTML you want, but can't guarantee that Word will open it. Note that Microsoft Word is absolutely not a web browser.
