HTML, putting a tag into a list item line causes list item text to disappear when writing to docx. Where can I find?

[WriterStat]

Hi reading in a html string with a tag in a list item <li> causes the text in that list item to disappear.

Instead of applying that tag to the list item text, such as bold or strong <strong>.

Unexpected error.

Not asking for a fix, just for a pointer or a leg up to where that might be handled in the code base, where I might look for it, so I can fix it.

I've added <b> and a few other things to HTML.php. Lists work fine, it just doesn't seem to like tags in them. I'd like to update them.

Thanks!

Cheers,

I seems to be having the same problem. When I save a text from a web page to a Word document the items of a list with an additional tag are not read/saved.

Just to be sure it wasn't how I used it, I confirmed by changing the Sample_30_ReadHTML.php to include the situation and it does exactly what is described.

Any idea of what is causing it to do that ?
Or of what would be the implications of changing it to make it work ?

Can confirm, have same problem - if there are any tags inside

- there is no text in output docx on related lines

I seem to have come across the same issue.
Any tags within a list item tag renders that list item empty when its converted into a word docx file.
Iv had to remove all other tags between li tags to get the list to display again, this is how i do it:

  `$html = preg_replace_callback('#(<li[^>]*>)(.+?)(</li>)#is', function($m){
        return($m[1].strip_tags($m[2]).$m[3]);
    }, $html);`

I hope this helps as a workaround.

this has been partially fixed in milestone v0.14.0, to formatting will be lost but the text will at least be kept.
