Rendering HTML string in to the Aspose Word document using Linq Reporting Engine

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hi Team,
We want to render HTML content string in to the document using Linq Reporting Engine.
We found expression i.e. <<[html_text] -html>>, which is working fine for some of the tags like bold, Italic and so on.
But Some of the formatting styles (e.g. hyperlink) are getting changed during merge processing.
Do we have any other way or switches similar to -html which we van use for rendering HTML text in to the document using Linq Reporting Engine with proper style and formatting.
Sample HTML which we tried:

<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\">Video provides a powerful way to help you prove your point</strong><span style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\">. </span></p><ol><li><strong style=\"color: rgb(244, 0, 0); font-size: 14px; font-family: courier;\">When you click Online Video, </strong></li><li><strong style=\"color: rgb(244, 0, 0); font-size: 14px; font-family: courier;\">you can paste in the embed code for</strong></li><li><strong style=\"color: rgb(244, 0, 0); font-size: 14px; font-family: courier;\"> the video you want to add.</strong><strong style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;\"> </strong></li><li><a href=\"https://forum.aspose.com/t/list-of-tags-available-in-linq-reporting-engine/236715/2\">https://forum.aspose.com/t/list-of-tags-available-in-linq-reporting-engine/236715/2</a></li></ol><p><img src=\"https://conga.com/themes/custom/themekit/images/branding/logo-conga-2022.svg\" alt=\"OIP.jfif\"></img></p>

We have introduced the html tag to provide more options on dynamic HTML insertion. For your scenario, please use the following template syntax:

<<html [html_text_expession] -sourceStyles>>

Hi Team,

This issue was started working when we had updated to Aspose.Words to 23.6 but now again we are getting similar issue with 23.6 also.

Below I have shared the screenshot of current behavior in case of hyperlink tag inside html (Template syntax <<html [html_text_expession] -sourceStyles>>).
Please let us know if anything else is changed.

Thank you.

I have shared the sample html below.

string htmlStringSample = @"<html>
             <head>
                 <meta charset=utf-8/>
                 <title> Href Attribute Example</title>
             </head>
             <body>

              <h1><span style=\color:#0000ff; font-family: Arial;\>Hello World!</span></h1>

              <p>        
                 To make your document look professionally produced, Word provides header, footer, cover page, and text box designs that complement each other. For example, you can add a matching cover page, header, and sidebar. Click Insert and then choose the elements you want from the different galleries.
              </p>
              <span style=\color: green; font-family: Old English Text MT; font-size:small;\>
