Ruby Code for Merging XML Files into DOTM: A Complete Guide 

# Converting XML to HTML
require 'aspose_cells_cloud'
api_cells = AsposeCellsCloud::CellsApi.new
name = 'file.XML' # String | The document name.

opts = { 
    save_options: AsposeCellsCloud::SaveOptions.new, # SaveOptions | Save options.
}
begin
    result = api_cells.cells_save_as_post_document_save_as(name + ".HTML", save_options)
    p result
end

# Converting HTML to DOTM
require 'aspose_words_cloud'
api_words = AsposeWordsCloud::WordsApi.new
name = 'name_example.HTML' # String | The document name.

opts = { 
    filename: 'file.DOTM', # String | The file name.
    folder: 'folder_example', # String | The document folder.
    storage_name: 'storage_name_example' # String | storage name.
}
begin
    request_save_options_data = api_words.HtmlSaveOptionsData.new({:FileName => filename + '.%!s(MISSING)'})
    request = api_words.SaveAsRequest.new(name: remote_name, save_options_data: request_save_options_data, folder: remote_folder)

FAQ

  • What is XML Format?
    XML stands for Extensible Markup Language that is similar to HTML but different in using tags for defining objects. The whole idea behind creation of XML file format was to store and transport data without being dependent on software or hardware tools. Its popularity is due to it being both human as well as machine readable. This enables it to create common data protocols in the form of objects to be stored and shared over network such as World Wide Web (WWW). The “X” in XML is for extensible which implies that the language can be extended to any number of symbols as per user requirements. It is for these features that many standard file formats make use of it such as Microsoft Open XML, LibreOffice OpenDocument, XHTML and SVG.
  • What is DOTM Format?
    A file with DOTM extension represents template file created with Microsoft Word 2007 or higher. It is similar to the popular DOCX file format other than it retains the user defined settings for reuse in case of creating new documents. Such documents are more often used in offices where a standard template file is generated with settings like page information, margins, default layout and macros, and is used to create new documents from it when required. DOTM files, however, save macros, that are a series of commands in the form of recorded actions for automatic completion of a task. This helps save time in carrying out actions that are repeated in completion of a task.
