I am writing a web app using Django 1.4.I want one of my view to output mirosoft word docs using the follwoing codes:
response = HttpResponse(view_data, content_type='application/vnd.ms-word')
response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=file.doc'
return response
Then ,I can download the file.doc successfully ,but when I open the .doc file ,I only find the raw html like this
<h1>some contents</h1>
not a heading1 title.
I am new to python & Django ,I know this maybe some problems with html escape,can some one please help me with this ? Thank you !:)
Unless you have some method of converting your response (here HTML I assume) to a .doc file, all you will get is a text file containing your response with the extension .doc. If you are willing to go for .docx files there is a wonderful python library called python-docx you should look in to that allows you to generate well formed docx files using the lxml library.
Alternatively, use a template such as:
<html>
<head>
<META HTTP-EQUIV=""Content-Type"" CONTENT=""text/html; charset=UTF-8"">
<meta name=ProgId content=Word.Document>
<meta name=Generator content=""Microsoft Word 9"">
<meta name=Originator content=""Microsoft Word 9"">
<style>
@page Section1 {size:595.45pt 841.7pt; margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in;mso-header-margin:.5in;mso-footer-margin:.5in;mso-paper-source:0;}
div.Section1 {page:Section1;}
@page Section2 {size:841.7pt 595.45pt;mso-page-orientation:landscape;margin:1.25in 1.0in 1.25in 1.0in;mso-header-margin:.5in;mso-footer-margin:.5in;mso-paper-source:0;}
div.Section2 {page:Section2;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class=Section2>
'Section1: Portrait, Section2: Landscape
[your text here]
</div>
</body>
</html>
This should, according to this asp.net forum post make a valid .doc file when returned as mime type application/msword using UTF-8 charset (so make sure strings are all unicode).
