Save document as HTML

The following example shows you how to save a Word document as an HTML file. You can use the saveAsHtml method to convert a document to HTML format.

import com.independentsoft.office.word.Paragraph;
import com.independentsoft.office.word.Run;
import com.independentsoft.office.word.Text;
import com.independentsoft.office.word.WordDocument;

public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        try
        {
            WordDocument doc = new WordDocument();

            Paragraph heading = new Paragraph();
            Run headingRun = new Run();
            headingRun.add(new Text("Welcome to JWord"));
            headingRun.setFontSize(28);
            headingRun.setBold(true);
            heading.add(headingRun);
            doc.getBody().add(heading);

            Paragraph para1 = new Paragraph();
            Run run1 = new Run();
            run1.add(new Text("This document will be saved as HTML."));
            para1.add(run1);
            doc.getBody().add(para1);

            Paragraph para2 = new Paragraph();
            Run run2 = new Run();
            run2.add(new Text("You can open the HTML file in any web browser."));
            run2.setItalic(true);
            para2.add(run2);
            doc.getBody().add(para2);

            // Save document as HTML file
            doc.saveAsHtml("c:\\test\\output.html", true);

            doc.close();
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

The following example shows you how to open an existing Word document and save it as HTML. You can also use the getHtml method to get the HTML representation as a string.

import com.independentsoft.office.word.WordDocument;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;

public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        try
        {
            // Open existing Word document
            WordDocument doc = new WordDocument("c:\\test\\input.docx");

            // Save as HTML file
            doc.saveAsHtml("c:\\test\\output.html", true);

            // Or get HTML as a string
            String htmlContent = doc.getHtml();
            System.out.println(htmlContent);

            // Or save to an output stream
            FileOutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream("c:\\test\\output2.html");
            doc.saveAsHtml(outputStream);
            outputStream.close();

            doc.close();
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
