Hello,

We recommend you to check the examples available on https://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/introduction/html-to-word-PHP. You can apply CSS styles using style tags:

<head>
    <style>
        p {font-style: italic;}
        p.header {font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold;}
        div.footer {font-size: 10px;}
    </style>
</head>

external CSS files:

<head>
<link href="styles.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />
</head>

and inline styles:

<tr>
    <td style="background-color: #ffff00">Cell 1 1</td>
    <td>Cell 1 2</td>
</tr>

CSS styles must be applied each time embedHTML or replaceVariableByHTML are called.

UPDATE: HTML Extended (https://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/introduction/html-extended-to-word-PHP) , available in Premium licenses, includes addBaseCSS to set a base CSS used for all HTML conversions in the same script.

Regards.

Right, I'm already prepending a string containing inline style classes. Example:

$style = "<style>
p, span[style] {
  font-family: Arial;
  font-size: 7.5pt;
}
</style>";

I just thought phpdocx might provide a method for loading external stylesheets.

That said, I will simply roll my own solution for loading an external text file. Thanks.
