Why Append HTML to a DOM Report?

You can append HTML markup or the entire contents of an HTML file to a programmatic

report written with the document object model (DOM) API. Append HTML to:

• Convert an existing HTML report to a Microsoft Word or PDF report.

You can append HTML markup for a report to a DOM report, which you can then

generate in Word or PDF format.

• Add content based on HTML markup.

You can append the HTML content to a DOM report. You can use the HTML content

as a building block in a DOM report that includes other report elements.

Workflow for Appending HTML

Appending HTML to a DOM report involves these tasks.

In a DOM report, append HTML content or an HTML file to a document or document

part.

For example, this DOM code creates a Word report that displays Hello World,

based on the HTML content that you append to the report.

import mlreportgen.com.*;

d = Document('MyReport','docx');

addHTML(d,'<p style="color:blue"><b>Hello World</b></p>');

An alternative approach is to create an mlreportgen.dom.HTML or

mlreportgen.dom.HTMLFile object and append it to a DOM report.

If you receive any MATLAB error messages, fix the source HTML markup and

append the HTML again.
