Show HN: DOM-docx – HTML to native, editable Word docs (MIT)

Sounds to good to be true, but it works for the given examples! What is the scope though? It produces garbage with larger documents with tables and figures. For example this large document, even with removed menu and headings: https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_...

Could it be it has only been fed small documents?

All of the suite test cases are small fragments of HTML to test specific things, so I probably do need a way to test bigger documents. Thanks for the feedback. I’ll add that to the to-do list.

I’ll try the red hat example later this evening.

Thanks for following up. I don't understand why your post has been flagged.
