I have an html page that I want to convert to PDF in several copies but in the same document. But when I do this it's the last line of my file that generate then I wanted to have a PDF document so the number of pages is the size of my database.
I was have the same problem 2 months ago .. and after trying several libraries to handle this after all i realized that chrome browser is best tool to convert html to pdf >> so i made
1 - special view to return the original html.
2 - use chrome from cli to convert this page to pdf and save it like :
os.system( f'chromium --headless --disable-gpu --print-to-pdf=<location to save>.pdf --no-margins <your_view_url>')
3 - then go to this place and return it as normal file.
I'm trying to load a picture from active directory into a django template.
This is the result :
"b'\xff\xd8\xff\xe0\x00\x10JFIF\x00\x01\x01\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xff\xdb\x00C\x00\x02\x01\x01\x01\x01\..."
I have seen the PHP method and tried to implement it using python with no success. I also tried the base64.decode, to save it in an image file and convert it using pil then load it, base64.decodebase64, I even tried to convert it using javascript and load it in src but all these methods didn't work, I have read a lot of articles but none helped me.
ANy help would be appreciated.
I know that it's old. But if someone struggles with the same problem here's how I did it:
import base64
...
thumbnailPhoto = base64.b64encode(entry.thumbnailPhoto.value).decode("utf-8")
And then in the html template
<img src="data:image/gif;base64,{{ thumbnailPhoto }}">
I'm looking into using a rich text editor in my Django project. TinyMCE looks like the obvious solution, however i see that the output format is html (here). Goal is to store user input and then serve it inside a word document using python-docx( which is not html).
Do you know of any solution for this? Either a feature of tinyMCE or a html to word-format converter which keeps styles, or maybe another rich text editor similar to tinymce?
UPDATE:
This is another option which i found to be working fine. Still at the point of trying to convert HTML to Word without losing styles. A solution for this may be pywin32 as stated here but it doesn't help me that much + it's Windows only.
Update2
After quite some digging i found pandoc and pypandoc which appear to be able to translate in any of these output formats:
"asciidoc, beamer, commonmark, context, docbook, docbook4, docbook5, docx, dokuwiki, dzslides, epub, epub2, epub3, fb2, gfm, haddock, html, html4, html5, icml, jats, json, latex, man, markdown, markdown_github, markdown_mmd, markdown_phpextra, markdown_strict, mediawiki, ms, muse, native, odt, opendocument, opml, org, plain, pptx, revealjs, rst, rtf, s5, slideous, slidy, tei, texinfo, textile, zimwiki"
I haven't figured out how to integrate such an input to python-docx.
I had the same challenge. You'll want to use Python's Beautiful Soup library to iterate through the content in your HTML editor (I use Summernote, but any HTML editor should work) then parse HTML tags into a usable format for python-docx. Pandoc and Pypandoc will convert files for you (e.g. you start with a LateX file and need to convert it to Word), but will not provide the tools to need to convert to and from xml/html.
Good luck!
Is there an easy way to link to a webpage in rmarkdown without displaying the link?
For example, putting "https://www.google.com/" in a .rmd file renders as the entire website, but I want something analogous to ABC instead.
The html method above, i.e., <a href= ... works when I knit to html, but it does not work when I knit to a word document.
Markdown provides two ways to create a link as you mention (and I suppose that is supported on rmarkdown).
Markdown way:
[ABC](http://example.com)
HTML way:
ABC
The first way is native and the second way is supported since Markdown allows every HTML code.
I'm using markdown to format some comments in a Django app.
If I try to combine markdown and urlize, inevitably bad formatting errors happen (links get added where they don't belong or aren't recognized, and of course the errors change depending on which filter I use first).
Basically I'd like a filter that does markdown and automatically turns links into hyperlinks if not done so by markdown.
Otherwise, I suppose I'll have to roll my own filter, which I would so rather not do.
What I do is use the Markdown urlize extension.
Once installed, you can use it in a Django template like this:
{{ value|markdown:"urlize" }}
Or in Python code like this:
import markdown
md = markdown.Markdown(safe_mode=True, extensions=['urlize'])
converted_text = md.convert(text)
Here is the start of the Markdown extension docs in case you need more info.
