Package: docx2html
Convert a docx (OOXML) file to semantic HTML.
All of Word formatting nonsense is stripped away and
you’re left with a cleanly-formatted version of the content.Usage>>> from docx2html import convert
>>> html = convert('path/to/docx/file')Running Tests for Development$ virtualenv path/to/new/virtualenv

convert that content to html. It does not care about styles or fonts or
anything that changes how the content is displayed (with few exceptions). Below
is a list of what currently works:ParagraphsBoldItalicsUnderlineHyperlinksListsNested listsList styles (letters, roman numerals, etc.)TablesParagraphsTablesRowspansColspansNested tablesListsImagesResizingConverting to smaller formats (for bitmaps and tiffs)There is a hook to allow setting the src of the image tag out of context,
more on this laterHeadingsSimple headingsRoot level lists that are upper case roman numerals get converted to h2
tagsHandling embedded imagesdocx2html allows you to specify how you would like to handle image uploading.
For example, you might be uploading your images to Amazon S3 eg:
Note: This documentation sucks, so you might need to read the source.import os.path
from shutil import copyfile

from docx2html import convert

def handle_image(image_id, relationship_dict):
    image_path = relationship_dict[image_id]
    # Now do something to the image. Let's move it somewhere.
    _, filename = os.path.split(image_path)
    destination_path = os.path.join('/tmp', filename)
    copyfile(image_path, destination_path)

    # Return the `src` attribute to be used in the img tag
    return 'file://%s' % destination

html = convert('path/to/docx/file', image_handler=handle_image)Naming ConventionsThere are two main naming conventions in the source for docx2html there arebuildfunctions, which will return an etree element that represents HTML. And
there areget_contentfunctions which return string representations of HTML.Changelog0.2.3There was a bug with hyperlinks that had a break tag in them. The
document would fail to convert. This issue has been fixed.0.2.2There was a bug with hyperlinks that were missing text. The document
would fail to convert. This issue has been fixed.0.2.1If a list had an inconsistency in the ilvls, the content for the
inconsistent ilvl would be lost. Now we roll that inconsistent list into
the root, no longer losing the content.0.2.0If a list had a numId that was not stored in the numbering dict, then a
key error would be thrown. Now if either the numId or the ilvl for a
given list tag is invalid it defaults to returning a list type of
decimal.0.1.11Sometimes in the OOXML an image will have a height or width of 0. If this
happens we are now ignoring the height and width in the OOXML and using
the full image instead.0.1.10Added a user facing version0.1.9There was a problem for some lists that would cause missing content if
the list id’s were not well behaved. This issue has been addressed.0.1.8Fixed missing content with hyperlinks with more than one run tag and
smartTags.Certain image types are now being ignored. These include: emf, wmf and
svg.0.1.7If the indentation level of a set of lists (with the same list id) were
mangled (Starting off with a higher indentation level followed by a
lower) then the entire sub list (the list with the lower indentation
level) would not be added to the root list. This would result in removing
the mangled list from the final output. This issue has been addressed.0.1.6Header detection was relying on case. However it is possible for a lower
case version of headers to show up. Those are now handled correctly.0.1.4Added a function to remove tags, in addition stripped ‘sectPr’ tags since
they have to do with headers and footers.0.1.3Hyperlinks with no text no longer throw an errorFixed a bug with determining the font size with an incomplete styles dict0.1.2Fixed a bug with determining the font size of a paragraph tag0.1.1Added a changelogStyles are now stripped from hyperlinksjinja2 is now used to render test xml0.1.0Correctly handle tables and paragraphs in lists. Before if there was a
table in a list it would break the list into two halves, the half before
the table and the half after the table (with the table inbetween them). Now
if there is a table or paragraph in a list those elements get rolled into
the list.
