    There seems to be an issue with <ul> and <ol> when there is valid html within the list tags when using embedHTML.

    $docx->embedHTML('<ul><li><p>Some text.</p></li></ul>');

     for instance if you have <ul><li><p>Some text.</p></li></ul>

    It drops the text below the bullet point - will this be fixed?.

    o

         Some text.

    Hello,

    You are adding a paragraph inside a list item, so when phpdocx transforms HTML to DOCX it generates a w:p for the list item and other w:p for the paragraph (both elements are paragraph in OOXML).

    We recommend you to avoid adding a paragraph element inside a list item:

    $docx->embedHTML('<ul><li>Some text.</li></ul>');

    or use an inline tag:

    $docx->embedHTML('<ul><li><span>Some text</span>.</li></ul>');

    Regards.

    Yes the best option is not to add the p tags but this is data that is already stored in a database. Is there a quick regex fix for this or any other fix I could use?

    Hello,

    We recommend you to remove them before transforming HTML to DOCX.

    This is using a regex such as;

    $html = preg_replace('/<\\/?p(.|\\s)*?>/', '', $html);

    or str_replace:

    $tags = array('<p>', '</p>');
$html = str_replace($tags, '', $html);

    You need to change these codes if there're other paragraphs you need to keep or lists are not added standalone but with more HTML.

    You can also use DOCXPath to move contents after transforming the HTML, but the easiest solution is cleaning the HTML before being added.

    Regards.

    Thanks you..

    As I have a version 6 license is there an upgrade I can download that is below version 7?

    Is there a version 6.5?

    Hello,

    On MY PHPDOCX page you can see the latest version available to download for the account. If you want to upgrade a license to the latest version, on this same page there's a button to do the upgrading.

    phpdocx 7 is fully compatible with all scripts created with phpdocx 6 (if you use DOCXPath you need to use 'occurrence' option instead of 'ocurrence').

    Regards.
