GroupDocs.Editor for .NET 23.8 Release Notes
GroupDocs.Editor for .NET version 23.8 contains several significant new features and also a big set of bug-fixes and improvements. Public API was also changed by adding new public members to the existing types. All of this is described below.
New features and improvements
Export styles during document editing
Starting from the version 23.8 the GroupDocs.Editor for .NET 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 23.8 also provides a new public option in the WordProcessingEditOptions class - UseInlineStyles 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.
