Option to preserve existing element style_id as class name #40

Open nelliemckesson opened 7 years ago

nelliemckesson commented 7 years ago

Is there an option to preserve an existing .docx style_id (the cleaned up & normalized .docx style name) as a class name on the resulting HTML element, regardless of whether this is defined in a style map?

For example, I'd like to be able to convert various .docx files that use unknown and differing sets of styles, to HTML that preserves style names (whatever they may be) as HTML element class names (on both block and inline elements).

Not at the moment, no.

Not without creating a style map. Luckily python-mammoth gives you excellent feedback so you can generate the style map automatically by running the conversion and catching the conversion messages like so:

for m in messages:
    if m.type == "warning":
        if 'Unrecognised ' and ' style' and ': ' in m.message:
            styleInfoString = m.message.encode("utf-8")
            styleInfo = styleInfoString.split(': ')
            styleInfo[0] = styleInfo[0].replace('Unrecognised ', '').replace(' style', '')
            styleInfo[1] = styleInfo[1].split(' (')[0]
            addToStyleMap(styleInfo)
        else:
            print 'stylemap gqenerator warning: ' + str(m.message)
    else:
print m

Then run the conversion again with your newly generated style map.

@mwilliamson Would you be interested in an auto-stylemap flag? I can do a PR for this. Otherwise we can close this issue.
