Examples

Shows how to convert SVG objects to a different format when saving HTML documents.

string html = 
    @"<html>
        <svg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' width='500' height='40' viewBox='0 0 500 40'>
            <text x='0' y='35' font-family='Verdana' font-size='35'>Hello world!</text>
        </svg>
    </html>";

// Use 'ConvertSvgToEmf' to turn back the legacy behavior
// where all SVG images loaded from an HTML document were converted to EMF.
// Now SVG images are loaded without conversion
// if the MS Word version specified in load options supports SVG images natively.
HtmlLoadOptions loadOptions = new HtmlLoadOptions { ConvertSvgToEmf = true };

Document doc = new Document(new MemoryStream(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(html)), loadOptions);

// This document contains a <svg> element in the form of text.
// When we save the document to HTML, we can pass a SaveOptions object
// to determine how the saving operation handles this object.
// Setting the "MetafileFormat" property to "HtmlMetafileFormat.Png" to convert it to a PNG image.
// Setting the "MetafileFormat" property to "HtmlMetafileFormat.Svg" preserve it as a SVG object.
// Setting the "MetafileFormat" property to "HtmlMetafileFormat.EmfOrWmf" to convert it to a metafile.
HtmlSaveOptions options = new HtmlSaveOptions { MetafileFormat = htmlMetafileFormat };

doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "HtmlSaveOptions.MetafileFormat.html", options);

string outDocContents = File.ReadAllText(ArtifactsDir + "HtmlSaveOptions.MetafileFormat.html");
