DOCX2HTML5 Responsive Converter is a Python tool that converts Microsoft Word DOCX files into responsive HTML5 documents. It leverages the LibreOffice CLI to perform the initial conversion and then post-processes the generated HTML to inject responsive meta tags, Bootstrap CSS, and custom styling. Additionally, the tool extracts alt text from DOCX image elements and applies them to the corresponding <img>
tags in the HTML output.
-

Clean-up and Optimization
Removes fixed width and height attributes from images and wraps tables in responsive containers. -
Cross-Platform Compatibility
Easily configurable for both Windows (usingC:\Program Files\LibreOffice\program\soffice.exe
) and Linux (e.g./usr/bin/libreoffice
) environments.
-
Python 3.x
The code is written in Python and utilizes standard libraries such as:subprocess
os
re
zipfile
xml.etree.ElementTree
tempfile

LibreOffice
LibreOffice must be installed on your system and accessible via the command line in headless mode.- Windows default:
C:\Program Files\LibreOffice\program\soffice.exe
- Linux default:
/usr/bin/libreoffice
(Update theLIBREOFFICE_PATH
variable in the code as needed.)
- Windows default:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/docx2html5-responsive-converter.git
cd docx2html5-responsive-converter
If LibreOffice is not already installed, run:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libreoffice
Download and install LibreOffice from the official website.
In the libre-docx2html5.py
file, adjust the LIBREOFFICE_PATH
variable for your operating system:
# For Windows:
LIBREOFFICE_PATH = r"C:\\Program Files\\LibreOffice\\program\\soffice.exe"
# For Linux (uncomment if using Linux):
# LIBREOFFICE_PATH = r"/usr/bin/libreoffice"
Open a terminal (or Command Prompt on Windows) in the repository directory and execute:
python libre-docx2html5.py
When prompted, enter the full path to the DOCX file you wish to convert:
Enter the full path of the DOCX file: /path/to/your/document.docx
After the conversion is complete, the script will display a message similar to:
✅ Conversion successful! Responsive HTML5 saved at: /path/to/your/document_responsive.html
You can now open the resulting HTML file in your browser.
Modify the CSS within the responsive_head
variable in the code to adjust fonts, spacing, and other styles as desired.
The tool extracts alt text from <wp:docPr>
elements in the DOCX file. You can adjust the behavior in the extract_alt_text_from_docx
function if necessary.
Verify that the LIBREOFFICE_PATH
variable is correctly set for your system.
Check the console output for error messages during conversion. Ensure that:
- The DOCX file is not corrupted.
- The LibreOffice CLI is functioning correctly in headless mode.
