HTML to Word DOCX | Visibility of Hidden Numbered and Bullet Lists | Java

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

Hi Awais,

On the same issue, we have also noticed that the Numbered lists and Bullet list is showing on the exported word file when it is hidden, I suspect that the same way that the Href is ignored the Bullet and numbered list is also ignored.
The same holds good for any figures as well. If there is any sort of table/figure added to the hidden then when we export it , there is no content data.

This is also a critical issue as we are working with our client to fix this as soon as possible.

On the same note please let me know if there are any known limitations to the Aspose.Words that we should be aware of.

@bekal94,

Please ZIP and attach the following resources here for testing:

  • Your simplified input Word document (if any)
  • A simplified HTML string that you are inserting in Word document (copy it in .txt or .html file and share the file)
  • Aspose.Words for Java 21.3 generated output DOCX file showing the undesired behavior.
  • Please also create a standalone simple Java application (source code without compilation errors) that helps us to reproduce your current problem on our end and attach it here for testing. Please do not include Aspose.Words JAR files in it to reduce the file size.

As soon as you get these pieces of information ready, we will start further investigation into this particular scenario/issue and provide you more information.

Please refer to the following sections of documentation:

@bekal94,

I have converted source HTML file to DOCX format by using “Save As” command of MS Word 2016 and attached it here for your reference:

Is this DOCX output produced by MS Word acceptable for you? I see that the “test.docx” you shared was generated by using a very old 17.9 version of Aspose.Words for Java; can you please upgrade to the latest 21.3 version of Aspose.Words for Java and see how it goes on your end? Please also provide your expected DOCX document showing the desired output here for our reference. You can created expected document manually by using MS Word or any other editor.

Yes, output docx is acceptable, the bullet and numbered lists needs to be visible under Rational and notes when I click on show/hide.
I also generated the new file using the latest 21.3 Jar, and the output is still discarding the bullets, Numbered lists as well as Figures/images etc.
I suspect it is a similar bug which is reported in WORDSNET-21612

Hi Alexey,

Looks like there is still an issue with the way the Ordered and Unordered List is handled.
The input style is not being applied to the output.
Example the content is supposed to be enclosed inside the box but is going outside the box.

Please let me know if you need anything else.
