Dynamically Generate HTML from Word Docx and convert multiple files in Java with the Sferyx DocxHTML Converter

You can generate even very complex HTML documents dynamically in your Java application by simply providing all the formatting in HTML and inserting page breaks when new pages are needed - the HTML Generator will take care automatically for all the pagination of long formatted text spanning through multiple pages and also tables, lists etc. This functionality is perfect for creating various reports and other documents which need to be generated dynamically with rich text formatting. You can insert dynamically also Docx files which will be converted automatically to HTML or add other HTML content along with the Docx files, images which will be embedded as base64 encoded Strings inside the HTML document etc. - everything will be converted automatically and inserted as HTML in the same document.

import sferyx.administration.docxhtmlconverter.*;

DocxHTMLConverter docxHTMLConverter=new DocxHTMLConverter();
//Open the content buffer to insert the content - HTML, Docx etc - everything can be merged together.
docxHTMLConverter.openContentBuffer();
//Append the content to the content buffer - you can insert styles, images and any kind of formatting.
docxHTMLConverter.appendHTMLContentToContentBuffer("<style>body{font-size:12pt;color:blue;} h1{background-color:yellow;}</style>");
docxHTMLConverter.appendHTMLContentToContentBuffer("<h1>This is H1 header</h1>Some other text <b>very important <i>stuff</i></b> with page break after");
//Insert page break to create new page - the HTMLGenerator will handle automatically all the pagination for long text if more pages are needed, tables and everything.
docxHTMLConverter.addPageBreakToContentBuffer();
//Append the content for the new page.
docxHTMLConverter.appendHTMLContentToContentBuffer("<h2 style=\"background-color:green;border-bottom:1px solid red;color:white\">This is second H2 header</h2>Some other text <span style=\"color:orange\">extremely interesting <u>stuff</u></b></span><br>");
//Insert another page break...
docxHTMLConverter.addPageBreakToContentBuffer();
....
//Append MS Word Docx file directly to the content buffer and it will be converted to HTML in the same document
docxHTMLConverter.appendDocxToContentBuffer(new java.net.URL("file:///c:/test/demo.docx"));
...
//Append another MS Word Docx file directly to the content buffer and it will be converted to HTML in the same document
docxHTMLConverter.appendDocxToContentBuffer(new java.net.URL("file:///c:/test/Sample06-1.docx"));
.....
//Close the content buffer and create the HTML document - there is a possibility to write it to File, OutputStream etc.
docxHTMLConverter.closeBufferAndGenerateHTML("c:/test/dynamic.html");
