@renjithmalliath,

Please try using the following code:

Document doc = new Document("E:\\temp\\in.docx");
doc.UpdateListLabels();

foreach (Paragraph para in doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Paragraph, true))
{
    // Identify what are the bullet/list items in document
    if (para.IsListItem)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(para.ToString(SaveFormat.Text));
    }
}

// Identify bullet/list items in generated HTML by forllowing tags
// <ol>, <ul> and <li>
HtmlSaveOptions opts = new HtmlSaveOptions(SaveFormat.Html);
opts.PrettyFormat = true;
opts.ExportListLabels = ExportListLabels.ByHtmlTags;

doc.Save("E:\\Temp\\19.11.html", opts);

Hi @awais.hafeez

Thanks for quick response. It worked fine with HtmlSaveOptions. But in my application I am using HtmlFixedSaveOptions. I cannot find the same property for HtmlFixedSaveOptions. I will be adding the save options what I am using below.

    HtmlFixedSaveOptions options = new HtmlFixedSaveOptions();
    options.setSaveFormat(SaveFormat.HTML_FIXED);
    options.setPageIndex(0);
    options.setPageCount(doc.getPageCount());
    options.setExportEmbeddedImages(true);
    options.setNumeralFormat(NumeralFormat.SYSTEM);
    options.setExportEmbeddedCss(true);
    options.setUseHighQualityRendering(true);
    options.setPrettyFormat(true);
    options.setExportEmbeddedSvg(true);
    options.setExportEmbeddedFonts(true);
    options.setCssClassNamesPrefix("Plag_lw_");
    options.setExportFormFields(true);

Could you please help me do the same with HtmlFixedSaveOptions ?

@renjithmalliath,

In HtmlFixed file format, Aspose.Words saves the document in the HTML format by using absolutely positioned elements. So, in this case, it will not use standard HTML elements like <ol>, <ul> and <li> for lists. Moreover, you cannot reload such HtmlFixed file back into Aspose.Words DOM (document object model) for reprocessing (Word-HtmlFixed-Word round-trip not supported). As a workaround, you may enclose the list items inside Bookmarks and then identify them in HtmlFixed. Sample HTML in this case will look like this:

<div class="awdiv" style="left:18pt; top:44.98pt; z-index:1;">
    <a name="listBm1" style="left:0pt; top:0pt;">
    </a>
    <span class="awspan awtext001" style="font-size:11pt; left:0pt; top:0pt;">1.</span>
    <span class="awspan awtext001" style="font-size:11pt; left:18pt; top:0pt;">First line in list item</span>
</div>
