GroupDocs.Editor for Java 24.4 Release Notes
New features and improvements
Export styles during document editing
Starting from the version 24.4 the GroupDocs.Editor for Java contains a new forward conversion mode for the WordProcessing documents - when the original document, which belongs to the family of WordProcessing formats (most commonly DOCX), is converted to HTML, then all of its built-in and user-defined styles are preserved and stored in the intermediate HTML-document as a set of CSS rulesets in the external stylesheet. This enables a possibility to manipulate with these styles, edit and apply them to the text in the external WYSIWYG-editor. More on this feature in this article.
Inline styles option
Version 24.4 also provides a new public option in the WordProcessingEditOptions class - getUseInlineStyles() boolean flag. This option provides a possiblity to generate the intermediate HTML-document, where all text, paragraph, list, and table formatting except document styles is stored not in the external stylesheet, as before, but inside the HTML markup, in the values of the style attributes within HTML elements. This article explains the new feature in detail.
New method for saving EditableDocument to HTML format with resource callback
Starting from the version 24.4 the GroupDocs.Editor for Java contains a new way for saving the EditableDocument content to the HTML format - a new overload of the save() method, with new HTML save options class. More in a special article.
Template format strings when saving HTML markup
When working with EditableDocument instance and trying to save the HTML markup only with methods getContent and getBodyContent it was possible to specify the resource prefixes only. Now, after release of version 24.4, it is possible to specify a template string with placeholders. More in a special article.
Default constructors for the save options
Starting from the version 24.4 all save options classes have the parameterless constructors.
