How to print custom WORD templates of Jira tickets using Confluence

This post is the continuation if the previous post: How to print custom PDF templates of Jira tickets using Confluence

After do the previous post instructions, we can improve the new “printing” system, adding a new button to Print in Word *.doc format instead of PDF.

We can add this javascript to the code:


function Export2Doc(element, filename = ''){
    var preHtml = "&lt;html xmlns:o='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office' xmlns:w='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40'&gt;&lt;head&gt;&lt;meta charset='utf-8'&gt;&lt;title&gt;Export HTML To Doc&lt;/title&gt;&lt;/head&gt;&lt;body&gt;";
    var postHtml = "&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html&gt;";
    var html = preHtml+document.getElementById(element).innerHTML+postHtml;

    var blob = new Blob(['\ufeff', html], {
        type: 'application/msword'
    });

    // Specify link url
    var url = 'data:application/vnd.ms-word;charset=utf-8,' + encodeURIComponent(html);

    // Specify file name
    filename = filename?filename+'.doc':'document.doc';

    // Create download link element
    var downloadLink = document.createElement("a");

    document.body.appendChild(downloadLink);

    if(navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob ){
        navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob(blob, filename);
    }else{
        // Create a link to the file
        downloadLink.href = url;

        // Setting the file name
        downloadLink.download = filename;

        //triggering the function
        downloadLink.click();
    }

    document.body.removeChild(downloadLink);
}

Then you can add another HTML Macro to the Confluence page to put the button to print!

The original code function is extracted from this super web!.
