Save HTML to folder Leave feedback
On this page
This demonstration shows how to open an input document, convert it to an intermediate EditableDocument, and save it to disk as an HTML file with a resource folder.
Almost all HTML WYSIWYG client-side editors are able to open an HTML document from disk (from a path). GroupDocs.Editor allows to open any supportable document, convert it to HTML and save it to disk, which may be very useful for subsequently editing it in some WYSIWYG editor.
When the document is opened for editing with editor.edit(), the resulting EditableDocument can be written to disk with its save() method. The method accepts the path to the output HTML file and the path to a folder where the resources (images, stylesheets, fonts) will be saved.
from groupdocs.editor import Editor
from groupdocs.editor.options import WordProcessingLoadOptions
load_options = WordProcessingLoadOptions()
editor = Editor("document.docx", load_options) # passing path and load options to the constructor
document = editor.edit()
# Save HTML markup together with resources into a folder
document.save("document.html", "document_resources")
In this example we load an input WordProcessing (DOCX) document into the Editor class with load options, specific for this document family type - WordProcessingLoadOptions. Then the document is converted to the EditableDocument using the edit() method. In the last line the content is saved to the HTML file on disk, and all resources are placed into the specified folder.
The example below loads a document, opens it for editing, and saves the HTML markup together with all of its resources into a folder.
import os
from groupdocs.editor import Editor, License
def save_html_to_folder():
# Optionally set a license
license_path = os.path.abspath("./GroupDocs.Editor.lic")
if os.path.exists(license_path):
License().set_license(license_path)
with Editor("./sample-document.docx") as editor:
editable = editor.edit()
# Write the HTML markup and every resource into a folder
editable.save("output.html", "output_resources")
editable.dispose()
print("Saved HTML to output.html with resources in output_resources")
if __name__ == "__main__":
save_html_to_folder()
sample-document.docx is the sample file used in this example. Click here to download it.
