Unable to get Repeated headers in Html to Word

Aspose.Words Product Family
#1

Hello Team,

I am using the below html and exporting that to docx and also setting the first row to header type, But i do not see the repeated header in my final word file. Can you please help me in generating the repeated header.

NodeCollection tables = theDoc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Table, true);

            for (int i = 0; i < tables.Count; i++)
            {
                var table = tables[i] as Table;
                if (table.Rows.Count > 5)
                {
                    table.Rows[0].RowFormat.HeadingFormat = true;
                }
            }

Thanks for your inquiry. Please use the Table.TextWrapping as None to get the desired output.

Document theDoc = new Document(MyDir + "input.html");
NodeCollection tables = theDoc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Table, true);

for (int i = 0; i < tables.Count; i++)
{
    var table = tables[i] as Table;
    if (table.Rows.Count > 5)
    {
        table.Rows[0].RowFormat.HeadingFormat = true;
    }
    table.TextWrapping = TextWrapping.None;
}
theDoc.Save(MyDir + "19.2.docx");

Thanks for your inquiry. In this case, the tables are nested in your input document. Please check the attached DOM image.

Please use following code example to get the desired output.

Document theDoc = new Document(MyDir + "input_AZ.html");
NodeCollection tables = theDoc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Table, true);

for (int i = 0; i < tables.Count; i++)
{
    var table = tables[i] as Table;

    if (table.GetAncestor(NodeType.Table) == null)
    {
        table.Rows[0].RowFormat.HeadingFormat = true;
    }
    table.TextWrapping = TextWrapping.None;
}
theDoc.Save(MyDir + "19.2.docx");

Thanks @tahir.manzoor for the quick response. but i want to get the headers repeated for the inner tables is that possible? most of the times the entire html i want to export have nested table structure with inner tables having large data.

Thanks for your inquiry. The header row does not repeat for nested table. Please note that Aspose.Words mimics the behavior of MS Word. If you perform the same scenario using MS Word, you will get the same output.

@tahir.manzoor, is there any way that i can move the table to the root of the document
or
detect the page break while looping through rows and insert header row in next page ?

Thanks,

Thanks for your inquiry. Yes, you can extract the nested table from parent table’s cell and add it under Body node. Please check the following code example.

Document theDoc = new Document(MyDir + "input_AZ.html");
NodeCollection tables = theDoc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Table, true);

foreach (Table table in tables)
{
    foreach (Table tbl in table.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Table, true))
    {
        Table newTable = (Table)table.ParentNode.InsertBefore(tbl.Clone(true), table);
        newTable.TextWrapping = TextWrapping.None;
        tbl.Remove();
    }

    if (table.ToString(SaveFormat.Text).Trim().Length == 0)
    {
        table.Remove();
    }
}

tables = theDoc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Table, true);

for (int i = 0; i < tables.Count; i++)
{
    var table = tables[i] as Table;

    if (table.GetAncestor(NodeType.Table) == null)
    {
        table.Rows[0].RowFormat.HeadingFormat = true;
    }
    table.TextWrapping = TextWrapping.None;
}

theDoc.Save(MyDir + "19.2.docx");
