Header & footer escape and line break not correctly rendered when convert HTML to Excel

Some of my excel HTML files contain “:”, “.” in header & footer.
The escape character “” are ignored when opening by Excel, but Aspose Cells HTML to Excel conversion does not ignore it.

Line break must save as “\000A” in header of Excel HTML files, Aspose Cells HTML to Excel conversion also does not convert it.

@billswd,

Please zip and attach sample HTML file, output Excel file (by Aspose.Cells) and output Excel file (by MS Excel) to show the issue(s). Also, share the sample code that you are using. We will check your issue soon.

Hi,

After testing, Excel also show other Unicode characters when 4 hex characters is after the escape character \ in header and footer. For example, \4f60\597D show 你好 when opening in Excel.
