Convert Markdown to Docx using Aspose.Words Display Problems

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

I used Aspose.Word to convert Markdown to Docx format according to the official Aspose tutorial, but there were some display problems.

  1. When the content contains html tags, it is not rendered after conversion.
  2. When the content contains images, Image is too wide on page and cannot be resized.
  3. When the content contains a table, the text in the table will have a title style.

Please refer to the file Output file.

  1. I have logged the issue as WORDSNET-26445. We will keep you informed and let you know once the issue is resolved.

  2. The behavior is expected. If you need to to resize the image to fit the page, you can postprocess the document after loading using code like the following:

Document doc = new Document("C:\\Temp\\in.md");

// Get shapes in the document.
foreach (Shape s in doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Shape, true))
{
    // Process only top level shapes.
    if (!s.IsTopLevel)
        continue;

    // Get shape parent section.
    Section parentSection = (Section)s.GetAncestor(NodeType.Section);
    PageSetup ps = parentSection.PageSetup;
    double pageWidth = ps.PageWidth - ps.LeftMargin - ps.RightMargin;
    double pageHeight = ps.PageHeight - ps.TopMargin - ps.BottomMargin;

    s.AspectRatioLocked = true;

    if (s.Width > pageWidth)
        s.Width = pageWidth;
    if (s.Height > pageHeight)
        s.Height = pageHeight;
}

doc.Save("C:\\Temp\\out.docx");
  1. The behavior is expected. If it is required to fit the table to content you can use the following code:
Document doc = new Document("C:\\Temp\\in.md");

foreach (Table t in doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Table, true))
    t.AutoFit(AutoFitBehavior.AutoFitToContents);

doc.Save("C:\\Temp\\out.docx");

Thanks for your reply. I don’t think the third question is as expected.

Please refer to the screenshot below.

	{
		foreach (Aspose.Words.Tables.Row r in t.Rows)
		{
			foreach (Aspose.Words.Tables.Cell c in r.Cells)
			{
				foreach (Aspose.Words.Paragraph p in c.Paragraphs)
				{
					p.ParagraphFormat.StyleName.Dump();//Why not outputting "Normal"?
					//p.ParagraphFormat.StyleName = "Normal";
				}
			}
		}

	doc.Save(@"C:\Users\54390\Desktop\demo.docx");
