How to convert HTML to a Word DOCX Document in Ruby

Today’s topic: converting HTML to DOCX made easy. Here’s how:

1. Add our Convert API Client to your Gemfile with this snippet here.

gem 'cloudmersive-convert-api-client', '~> 1.3.3'

2. Call convert_web_html_to_docx as seen below:

# load the gem
require 'cloudmersive-convert-api-client'
# setup authorization
CloudmersiveConvertApiClient.configure do |config|
  # Configure API key authorization: Apikey
  config.api_key['Apikey'] = 'YOUR API KEY'
  # Uncomment the following line to set a prefix for the API key, e.g. 'Bearer' (defaults to nil)
  #config.api_key_prefix['Apikey'] = 'Bearer'
end
api_instance = CloudmersiveConvertApiClient::ConvertWebApi.new
input_request = CloudmersiveConvertApiClient::HtmlToOfficeRequest.new # HtmlToOfficeRequest |
begin
  #HTML to DOCX
  result = api_instance.convert_web_html_to_docx(input_request)
  p result
rescue CloudmersiveConvertApiClient::ApiError => e
  puts "Exception when calling ConvertWebApi->convert_web_html_to_docx: #{e}"
end
