How HTML Support Works in Documentero

Documentero templates support dynamic field replacement using placeholder syntax. To enable HTML formatting for a field, just prefix the field name with an asterisk (*). Here’s how it works:

πŸ”§ Syntax

Field Type Syntax Description
Regular Field {description} Simple text or number
HTML Field {*description} Field with HTML content

Supported HTML Tags in Excel

Since Excel has limited rich text formatting support, only a subset of HTML is converted. Below are the HTML tags supported by Documentero for Excel/XLSX generation:

HTML Tags Converted To
<b>, <strong> Bold
<i>, <em> Italic
<u>, <ins> Underline
<strike>, <s>, <del> Strikethrough
<sub> Subscript
<span> Inline text styles
<p>, <div>, <pre> New line
<h1> to <h6> Styled text
<code> Styled text
<ul>, <ol> Indented text
<table> Flattened table-like text
<a>, <img> Text-only output
<br> New line

This means you can dynamically insert bold, italic, bullet points, headers, subscript text, and more β€” straight from your HTML input β€” into a spreadsheet.
