Hello,

I am trying to convert a HTML to DocX with embedHTML(). That works correctly!

But how can I convert a header-HTML Tag to a header in DocX with a headinglevel so that it was recognized as header that it can be displayed in the table of contents.

With regards

I am currently using the the latest trial version to test my application.

If everything works fine, I want to buy the Basic license.

Hello,

UPDATE: https://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/cookbook/working-with-headings

Using a Basic, a Trial or an Advanced package, HTML contents can be added to TOC using heading tags (h1, h2...) or a custom paragraph style. On https://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/cookbook/tables-of-contents you can read more information about adding contents to TOC.

Adding a header/footer to a DOCX from HTML using a header/footer tag is only available in Premium licenses using HTML Extended (https://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/introduction/html-extended-to-word-PHP):

HTMLExtended::$tagsBlock['header'] = 'addHeader';
HTMLExtended::$tagsBlock['footer'] = 'addFooter';

$html = '
    <head>
        <style>
            p {font-style: italic;}
            p.header {font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold;}
            div.footer {font-size: 10px;}
        </style>
    </head>
    <header data-type="default">
        <p class="header">
            Custom header <strong>with strong style</strong>
        </p>
    </header>
    <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.</p>
    <footer>
        <div class="footer">
            <table border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse" width="600">
                <tbody>
                    <tr>
                        <td width="300">Cell A</td>
                        <td width="300"><img src="image.png" width="35" height="35" style="vertical-align: -15px"></p></td>
                    </tr>
                </tbody>
            </table>
        </div>
    </footer>
';

$docx->embedHTML($html, array('useHTMLExtended' => true));

All licenses can also use replaceVariableByHTML to replace contents by HTML in templates and use addHeader/addFooter to add headers/footers with contents such as text, images, tables, HTML and others.

Regards.

Thank you for your response.

I've tried it with 

$docx->addText('This is a text', array('bold' => true, 'headingLevel' => 1));

but the formarting style doesn't appears.

I would like to have the marked headingLevel. Is this possible?

Hello,

UPDATE: https://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/cookbook/working-with-headings

The headingLevel option sets the paragraph as heading (w:outlineLvl tag in the DOCX). If you want to apply also a heading style you need to set the pStyle option available in the same method.

Methods such as addHeading or embedHTML using heading tags (h1, h2, h3...) adds heading paragraphs with a custom paragraph style by default. The custom paragraph style applied can be the default ones included in phpdocx, generated from scratch using the API methods (https://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/practical/styles), or imported from a template.

Regards.

$docx->addText('Contents',array('pStyle' => 'Heading1'));

Thank you for your response.

Also with pStyle, it doesn't apply a heading style.

Hello,

UPDATE: https://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/cookbook/working-with-headings

If you run

$docx->addText('Contents',array('pStyle' => 'Heading1'));

and you don't get a custom paragraph style applied to that content is because your DOCX doesn't include that style name (Heading1). Please test and run the included sample Core/addTableContents/sample_2.php that applies custom paragraph styles included in the default template of phpdocx, for example:

$docx->addText('Chapter 1', array('pStyle' => 'Heading1PHPDOCX'));

If you don't know the name of the style/s you want to apply, you can get them using importStyles (https://www.phpdocx.com/api-documentation/layout-and-general/import-styles-from-a-Word-document-with-PHP). On https://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/practical/styles you can read the practical guide about using styles with phpdocx.

Regards.
