You can append strings of HTML content to a DOM document or document part using

either of these approaches:

• Use the addHTML method with a Document or DocumentPart object.

• Create and append an HTML object.

If the HTML content that you append does not meet DOM requirements, the DOM API

generates error messages. You can use an HTML cleanup program such as HTML Tidy

on a file containing the source HTML content. HTML Tidy fixes many issues and also

identifies issues you need to address manually. After you clean up the source HTML

content, append it to a DOM report.

Use an addHTML Method

You can use the addHTML method with an mlreportgen.dom.Document or

mlreportgen.dom.DocumentPart object to add a string of HTML content to a DOM

report.

For example, you can use addHTML to create an HTML object that you append to a DOM

report that produces Word output.

import mlreportgen.dom.*;

rpt = Document('HTMLToWordReport','docx');

htmlObj = addHTML(rpt,...

'Hello World');

close(rpt);

rptview(rpt.OutputPath);
