use pandoc to embed images into a docx file that are in a HTML

pandoc

Solution

I managed to solve this by executing the following command:

pandoc -s file_name.html -o file_name.docx;

There are actually 2 important points that you need to consider:

- The quality of the output file is pretty much related to how pandoc interpret your HTML file, so that if the source was pretty complex then you wouldn't really expect a pretty good quality output, for instance the `<hr/>` tag is not recognized by pandoc, while the `<p>` tag is.

- The path of the image is not an HTTP path but instead it is a full desk path, meaning:

This is NO good:

<img src="http://www.example.com/images/img.jpg" />

And This is what pandoc can really read:

<img src="/var/www/example.com/images/img.jpg" />
