Enclose entire Multiline Bookmarked Content in a Single Anchor <a> during Word to HTML Conversion (Java)

Dear Aspose Team,

is there any possibility to create multiline bookmarks using Aspose.Words and export them within an anchor tag to HTML?

Within an document I can create single line bookmarks using this way:

builder.startBookmark("myid");
builder.write("some text");
builder.endBookmark("myid");

and the resulting HTML output will be

<a id="myid">some text</a>

but if I insert multiple lines

builder.startBookmark("myid");
builder.writeln("some");
builder.write("text");
builder.endBookmark("myid");

the resulting HTML output will be

<p><a id="myid">some</a></p>
<p>... text </p>

(i removed all the layouting stuff here for clarification)

My goal is to import HTML using builder.insertHtml( some_text, true) within an bookmark.

Best regards,
Andreas

@andreas.gerasch,

Please check this HTML (awjava-21.6.zip (456 Bytes)) was produced by using the following code of Aspose.Words for Java 21.6:

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

builder.startBookmark("myid");
builder.writeln("some");
builder.write("text");
builder.endBookmark("myid");

HtmlSaveOptions htmlSaveOptions = new HtmlSaveOptions(SaveFormat.HTML);
htmlSaveOptions.setPrettyFormat(true);

doc.save("C:\\Temp\\awjava-21.6.html", htmlSaveOptions);

And when I inserted this above HTML by using the following code, the multi-line bookmark was preserved in output Word DOCX document (see awjava-21.6.docx (7.2 KB)):

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

String data = new String(Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get("C:\\Temp\\awjava-21.6.html")));
builder.insertHtml(data);

doc.save("C:\\Temp\\awjava-21.6.docx");

So, please upgrade to the latest (21.6) version of Aspose.Words for Java and see how it goes on your end?

Hi @awais.hafeez,

Thank you very much. I understand that a multiline bookmark in HTML is realised by aspose using a follow-up span tag with a special style attribute:

<div>
	<p style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt">
		<a name="myid"><span>some</span></a>
	</p>
	<p style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt">
		<span>text</span><span style="-aw-bookmark-end:myid"></span>
	</p>
</div>

But what is the reason, for not using a single anchor tag around the full bookmark section? I would expect the following:

<div>
	<a name="myid">
		<p style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt">
			<span>some</span>
		</p>
		<p style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt">
			<span>text</span>
		</p>
	</a>
</div>

Best regards,
Andreas
