I am looking for a way to convert a xhtml document to docx. I tried
pandoc and of course xmlmind.
Pandoc cannot deal with colspan and rowspan as the internal document
model cannot deal with them.
XML Mind gives a good result,
In XMLmind XML Editor, the conversion of XHTML (or DITA or DocBook) to
DOCX is achieved by the means of the "XMLmind FO Converter XSL-FO
processor plug-in" add-on. See
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/addons_doc.html#xfc_foprocessor
This add-on includes a copy of another XMLmind product called "XMLmind
XSL-FO Converter". See http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/
but the resulting docx does not contain
the classical paragraph formats, heading 1 ...heading 6, ...
Our XSLT stylesheets converting XHTML to XSL-FO (and then XSL-FO to DOCX
by the means of "XMLmind XSL-FO Converter"; see above) do not generate
any named MS-Word style, including standard ones like "Heading 1",
"Heading 2", etc.
However it's possible to mark the MS-Word paragraphs generated for XHTML
<h1>, <h2>, etc, as having an outline level. By doing this, these
paragraphs will appear in the TOC generated by MS-Word.
This is done by passing this XSLT stylesheet parameter
set-outline-level = yes
(see
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/xhtml/xslt_params.html#set-outline-level)
before using "XHTML|Convert Document|Convert to DOCX". See "Simplest
customization" in
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/faq.html#custom_deliverables
The reason I would like to have these standard word paragraph formats is
to make it possible to further edit the docx file.
Is there a way to influence how html elements are converted to docx
tags? If there is so and you could point me to the docs that would be
nice, or an example...
Now about true named MS-Word styles and not just outline levels...
Generating named MS-Word styles in the DOCX created by "XMLmind XSL-FO
Converter" is certainly possible, but requires important changes to our
XHTML to XSL-FO XSLT stylesheets. We don't plan to make these changes.
How to do this is explained here:
