NeoEdit convert html to text

#1 · January 7, 2023, 10:15 am

Hi..

I use NeoEdit in my platfrom so the user writes a small text in WYSIWYG. After that there is the need to create a document, so i use NeoWord, there i have problem with the produced html.

Is possible to convert the html text produced by the plugin to text and via versa ?

Or there is any other method to convert it ?

Thanks

@smartmedia you can get the text by using neoEditGetText command and the formated HTML by using neoEditGetHtml, but it's not possible to convert the plain text to html as it doesn't have all the formating tags anymore.
Another option to convert HTML to text is using a hidden Container and SetObjectHTML and GetObjectText commands.

Cheking the result i have issue. GetObjectText seems to remove all the spaces and the returns from text. So what u have in not much of plain text, is more all words connected into one piece.

So i don't thing that will be a solution for me.

I am thinking if there is a way to present html directly to Word. Any ideas on that ?

I tried a sample like this ...

... there is no blank line in my neoEdit Container ... after invoking neoEditGetText, I viewed the resulting variable content using jsAlert ... which was ...

Perhaps, neoEditGetText will provide the (simple) text you need.

The concept was to give the user the ability to enter a rich text, be able to see it and finally be able to print it in a Word document. All this is fail cause NeoEdit and GetObject (HTML-Text) and NeoWord can't work natively together. If you cannot convert a produced HTML to a TEXT is not possible to have the result.

Headline and paragraphy objects are not showing the text formated and as entered in a textarea.

Finally i removed NeoEdit and i use textarea entry and SetObjectText to present the data into a container and the produced Word document.

Check the demo app.

@smartmedia I have edited your sample app so you can convert it in real time using ng-bind-html.
Now try writing HTML code into the text area.

Hi @luishp

Since there is not a way the Word document to present translated html code, there is no reason for the time been to allow my users to write rich text.

I wanted to ask what those functions do (custom-atrib, ng-blind-html, ng-if, ng-repeat) and now you give me the chance. There is any documentation, theory and examples on how u use them and what do ?

I didn't saw in help any reference.

Again thanks both for your time and always your kind behavior.
