Output HTML to DOCx file Tables Not Getting Formatted

Output HTML to DOCx file Tables Not Getting Formatted

[Michael Becker]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 969 bytes --]

I'm really struggling with outputting formatted tables using pandoc in MS 
Word.  I'm exporting HTML from a tool called Tinderbox. I then convert the 
clean HTML to a docx file with pandoc. The tables always come through with 
NO styling, even after I've modified the default table style in the the 
reference.docx file. 

I read tons of post on this, but for the life of me I can't figure it out. 
There are some that suggest going into the word XML but I'm not sure how to 
automate this. I'm on maxOS Silicon Anyone of any idea on how to make this 
work?

Hi there, I have found a way to manually do this with BBEDIT. After 
exporting the file I Open the doxc file with BBEDIT (no zip or unzip 
required).  I can then do a global replace and replace the table style I 
want word to use, e.g. replace "Table" with "MyTable". 

Here is my question. Does anyone know of a list to terminal commands that I 
could write that would automatically go into the docx file and make the 
changes I want. Tinderbox can trigger runCommands. It is not clear to me 
what the steps would be to get into the document.xml file, globally replace 
the style val and save it. 

Manually, this works every time. Now I'd like to automate the process.

BBEdit has a command line interface so that you could potentially automate
the manual commands you did in it

Something like this should do the trick (untested):

unzip -x ~/storage/file-sample_100kB.docx word/document.xml

sed -i -e 's!<w:tblStyle w:val="Table"/>!<w:tblStyle w:val="MyTable"/>!g'
word/document.xml

zip -u ~/storage/file-sample_100kB.docx word/document.xml

Best regards, Anton
