Tables break links in task comments Topic is solved

[fjeronimo]

I run the conversion on one of my tasklists.

The process run successfully to the end and generated the output tasklist successfully.

I have Microsoft Word 2013 installed on my machine.

I'm opening both tasklists side-by-side to see the results. Overally, it looks quite good.

I found a few minor issues so far, that I will report the best I can.

Perhaps related with the crash I mentioned above, none of the links (task, hyperlinks or local file/folder) were converted as links but the text was kept (a few examples in the screenshot below):

Text background colours don't seem to convert correctly (i.e. convert to standard HTML colours?). Original at the top:

Numbered and bullet lists are not converted as lists (visually they look fine but in the HTML they are 'Span' elements only):

In the HTML, they appear as such:

Code: Select all

<SPAN ...>1.<SPAN style='FONT: 7pt "Times New Roman"'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </SPAN></SPAN><B><SPAN style='FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Adobe Caslon Pro",serif; COLOR: fuchsia'>Adobe Caslon Pro</SPAN>...

Could you possibly report the crash separately to the '7.3 bugs' board and include a recorded bug report (Help > Record Bug Report)?

Regarding the conversion format differences, what happens if you do a 'Select All' on a specific task's RTF comments, copy it, paste it into MS Word and then save as HTML?

ps. Can you start a new thread in '7.3 Bugs' for issues with the converter please?

[fjeronimo]

Will do.

As for copy/pasting the contents into Word 2013, I noticed that the text background colour and the links seem to be immediately broken as soon as you paste but the lists work fine within Word itself.

However, when you save as HTML, the output is pretty much the same as in ToDoList (i.e. no li elements, just span ones).

I will add this information to each new post in 7.3.

Cool thanks.

Working out that it's a problem even without TDL means that other people may have found solutions we can leverage...
