We are continuing to get a DocX 'after' on the last paragraph of the bottom equal to the linesize. This is giving us a space between the text and the bottom row bottom border. Do you know what items in the html/css might get converted to an after on the text?

Try setting the bottom marging and padding on the paragraph to 0.

we have padding = 0cm on the TD and have even tried removing the but still seeing the issue code example attached below.

The contracting authority may choose to allocate more points to re-used content according to the local conditions. This could include favouring designs that re-use the primary load bearing structure of an existing building.

I just tested this. Wrap the text in a p and then set the margin and padding to 0 and it works.

You haven't wrapped this:

in a p tag with no padding and margin.

However when we take this code fragment and wrap inside a table again as required in our code so that we can draw a border around this code fragment we are getting the "after" back again on the last cell of the table.

<tr style="padding:0cm;margin:0cm;">

Did you get a chance to look at this issue?

When we take the code fragment from before and wrap it inside a table again (as required in our code so that we can draw a border around this code fragment in docx) we are getting the "after" back again on the last cell of the table.

Answered by anonymous on the 3rd of November 2022

Yes, because you are not wrapping the last bit of text in .

So to clarify your above suggestion, even though for the single table the html to docx update seems to now readily handle (ie not add an after) folloing yesterdays code update when the text of the last bit of text of the last TD is not wrapped in a if I wrap the whole thing in a second table then we should wrap this last piece of text in teh last TD of the inner table in a ?

I've tried (by pasting below into homepage window) what I believe was your suggested approach and it looks to be the same issue.

- External walls, cladding and insulation     
 
- Re-roofing and insulation     
 
- Windows
