Has this issue been resolved? If not, please share the estimated date

@kainat123 Unfortunately, the issue has not been fixed in 22.3 version of Aspose.Words. I have asked the responsible developer to take a look at it shortly.

12

Hi,
Do you have any updates regarding above mentioned issue?

13

@kainat123 The issue is already resolved in the current 22.4 version of Aspose.Words. You should add the following code to preserve DIVs in the document, like MS Word does:

HtmlLoadOptions loadOptions = new HtmlLoadOptions();
// Enable the new import mode.
loadOptions.BlockImportMode = BlockImportMode.Preserve;
Document doc = new Document("Input.html", loadOptions);
doc.Save("put.docx");

Hi,
I have upgraded the version and added the above mentioned code. But the issue didn’t get resolved. Would you please check ?

15

@kainat123 I have checked and the output document looks correct on my side. Could you please attach your output and expected output documents? We will check and provide you more information.

Hi, I have shared the html file along with the screenshot of outputs. Please give it a look.Html File With Output.zip (329.3 KB)

@kainat123 Unfortunately, I still cannot reproduce the problem.

HtmlLoadOptions loadOptions = new HtmlLoadOptions();
// Enable the new import mode.
loadOptions.BlockImportMode = BlockImportMode.Preserve;
Document doc = new Document(@"C:\Temp\in.html", loadOptions);
doc.Save(@"C:\Temp\out.docx");

Please make sure load options are passed into the Document constructor.

I am using encoding in code as mentioned below :
htmlLoadOptions.Encoding = Encoding.UTF8;

And the provided solution don’t work properly with the UTF8 encoding. Can you please check?

@kainat123 Still cannot reproduce the problem on my side:

HtmlLoadOptions loadOptions = new HtmlLoadOptions();
// Enable the new import mode.
loadOptions.BlockImportMode = BlockImportMode.Preserve;
loadOptions.Encoding = Encoding.UTF8;
Document doc = new Document(@"C:\Temp\in.html", loadOptions);
doc.Save(@"C:\Temp\out.docx");

Borders are applied properly.

borders are fine but bullets don’t appear correct after applying the above mentioned code. Screenshot has been attached.bullets issue.PNG (26.9 KB)

@kainat123 The problem occurs because encoding is specified improperly. If let Aspose.Words to detect the encoding, bullets are converted properly. Aspose.Words detect the encoding as 1252 Western European (Windows).
You can check what encoding Aspose.Words detect using FileFormatUtil:

FileFormatInfo info = FileFormatUtil.DetectFileFormat(@"C:\Temp\in.html");
Console.WriteLine(info.Encoding.CodePage);
Console.WriteLine(info.Encoding.EncodingName);
