HTML to Docx - Inline Span Style Changes Not Recognised - With a solution

[mogilvie]

Hi,

I had text within an HTML table cell that was styled using a <span> element. None of these styles were being parsed through to the phpWord DOM.

I got them working by introducing a <span> node type in the \PhpWord\Shared\Html.php parseNode method.

        // Node mapping table
        $nodes = array(
                              // $method        $node   $element    $styles     $data   $argument1      $argument2
            'p'         => array('Paragraph',   $node,  $element,   $styles,    null,   null,           null),
            'h1'        => array('Heading',     null,   $element,   $styles,    null,   'Heading1',     null),
            'h2'        => array('Heading',     null,   $element,   $styles,    null,   'Heading2',     null),
            'h3'        => array('Heading',     null,   $element,   $styles,    null,   'Heading3',     null),
            'h4'        => array('Heading',     null,   $element,   $styles,    null,   'Heading4',     null),
            'h5'        => array('Heading',     null,   $element,   $styles,    null,   'Heading5',     null),
            'h6'        => array('Heading',     null,   $element,   $styles,    null,   'Heading6',     null),
            '#text'     => array('Text',        $node,  $element,   $styles,    null,    null,          null),
            'span'      => array('Span',        $node,  null,       $styles,    null,    null,          null), //to catch inline span style changes
            'strong'    => array('Property',    null,   null,       $styles,    null,   'bold',         true),
            'em'        => array('Property',    null,   null,       $styles,    null,   'italic',       true),
            'sup'       => array('Property',    null,   null,       $styles,    null,   'superScript',  true),
            'sub'       => array('Property',    null,   null,       $styles,    null,   'subScript',    true),
            'table'     => array('Table',       $node,  $element,   $styles,    null,   'addTable',     true),
            'tbody'     => array('Table',       $node,  $element,   $styles,    null,   'skipTbody',    true), //added to catch tbody in html.
            'tr'        => array('Table',       $node,  $element,   $styles,    null,   'addRow',       true),
            'td'        => array('Table',       $node,  $element,   $styles,    null,   'addCell',      true),
            'ul'        => array('List',        null,   null,       $styles,    $data,  3,              null),
            'ol'        => array('List',        null,   null,       $styles,    $data,  7,              null),
            'li'        => array('ListItem',    $node,  $element,   $styles,    $data,  null,           null),
        );

I then added a new method to the same class called parseSpan:

    /**
     * Parse span
     * 
     * Changes the inline style when a Span element is found.
     * 
     * @param type $node
     * @param type $element
     * @param array $styles
     * @return type
     */
    private static function parseSpan($node, &$styles)
    {
        $styles['font'] = self::parseInlineStyle($node, $styles['font']);        
        return null;        
    }
