HtmlExporterNG2 and Track Changes

[jallen]

Hi Jason,

Do you know a easy way to not include all of the 'Track Changes' markup in the converted HTML when using HtmlExporterNG2? I want the HTML to look like the 'Final' version of the word document.

Thanks,
Jeff

Conceptually, I'd be inclined to have a method (call it 'acceptChanges') which could be invoked before you generate the HTML output. But I don't think we have that yet. And the downside is from an efficiency point of view, it would be an additional traversal of the document.

The XSLT in package org.docx4j.convert.out.html contains:

                                        <xsl:choose>
                                                <xsl:when test="/w:document/w:settings/w:trackRevisions">
                                                  .ins {text-decoration:none;background:#c0ffc0;padding:1px;}
                                                </xsl:when>
                                                <xsl:otherwise>
                                                  .ins {text-decoration:none;background:#c0ffc0;padding:1px;}
                                                </xsl:otherwise>
                                        </xsl:choose>



  <xsl:template match="w:ins">
        <span class="ins">
                <xsl:apply-templates/>
        </span>
  </xsl:template>      

  <xsl:template match="w:del">
                <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:template>      

  <xsl:template match="w:delText">
        <span class="del">
                <xsl:apply-templates/>
        </span>
  </xsl:template>

so an expdient approach would be to alter the CSS definitions, or change these templates.

For anyone else who runs into this, I modified the xslt style sheet and it seems to be working.
