    I'm trying to incorporate global styling across the entire docx file. I'm using <style> tags that style the content. However, I noticed something strange:

    [b]This code works fine:[/b]
    [code]
    $docx = new CreateDocx();
    $html= '<style>p {font-family:arial;font-size:33px;}</style>';
    $html.= '<p>Some sample text. <strong><span>Some bold text.</span></strong></p>';
    $docx->addHTML($html);
    $docx->createDocxAndDownload('example_html');
    [/code]




    [b]This code fails![/b]
    [code]
    $docx = new CreateDocx();
    $html= '<style>p {font-family:arial;font-size:33px;}</style>';
    $docx->addHTML($html);
    $html= '<p>Some sample text. <strong><span>Some bold text.</span></strong></p>';
    $docx->addHTML($html);
    $docx->createDocxAndDownload('example_html');
    [/code]

    In the second example, the style gets ignored. Why would adding the style coding separately fail?

    Thanks,

    Hello,

    Because Word thinks they are different HTML content. Each addHTML method creates a new altchunk tag in document.
    You must not think Word as HTML pages.
