DOCX (with ( Content Controls) to HTML conversion using ASPOSE.Words Java

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hi,
I have the below code to convert an MS Word file to an HTML file using ASPOSE Words ( Java).
The MS Word file has Content Controls.

Document  d = new Document("TEST.docx");
SaveOptions opt = SaveOptions.createSaveOptions(SaveFormat.HTML);
d.save("ASPOSE_Converted_HTML.html", opt);

The Content Controls in the output HTML generated by ASPOSE are present as Style attributes
<div style="-aw-sdt-tag:'P1=P2'; -aw-sdt-title:'P1'"

If I save the docx file in MS Word App as HTML then the Content Controls are stored as Sdt Tags.
<w:Sdt DocPart="DefaultPlaceholder_-1854013440" Title="P2" SdtTag="P2=P3" ID="-1629224713">

Agiloft needs the <w:Sdt tags in the converted HTML file for its processing.

Please let me know if there is an option in ASPOSE Words such that ASPOSE converted HTML contains the <w:Sdt tags ( Like the ones generated by MS Word ) and not style attributes.

I am attaching the test docx file that has Content Controls.
Thanks!
TEST.docx (23.2 KB)

@dipsarkar No, unfortunately, there is no option to output Content Controls using w:Sdt tags. This is not a valid HTML tag. MS Word uses augmented HTML output.

Hi @alexey.noskov ,
Thanks for you reply. Will wait for the fix.
It will be great if the fix generates the Sdt Tag and attributes in the same way as MS Word does, that way we will need minimal change on Agiloft side.

Thanks!

@dipsarkar We will keep you updated and let you know once the feature is implemented. Unfortunately, I cannot promise you a fast fix, because, I suppose, the feature will be implemented as a part of another big feature - support of MsoHtml export (export to HTML in MS Word maner).
