Issue with double spacing in HTML

[jallen]

Hi Jason,

Here is my issue. I am exporting a word document to HTML. I am then using that HTML to build a multipart mime email message. When the email is viewed in a traditional mail client (Outlook, Lotus Notes) the lines appear as being double spaced.

I noted that Word has two line spacing properties, before and after.

It appears that only the after spacing property is being carried over to the html.

Code: Select all

<p class="Normal DocDefaults " style="space-after: 0in;line-height: 100%;">&nbsp;</p>

The resulting output is that the mail client is defaulting the before line spacing to double spaced.

I am guessing some on how this all works. Is there a way to set both the before and after spacing properties when converting to HTML?

Thanks,
Jeff

Fixed in https://github.com/plutext/docx4j/commi ... 3fbcaeb426

Two things:
1. the CSS property name was wrong
2. when space-before is 0, Word doesn't write the attribute at all in the WordML it emits, so in the absence of the attribute, margin-top is now set to 0.

Thanks for the fix Jason. Is there a new nightly build for this change so I can test it out?
