Why to Convert
Converting Markdown (MD) files to Document Template (DOT) files is a common requirement for many mobile applications. MD files are widely used for creating documents, while DOT files are used for creating templates for documents. Converting MD to DOT allows users to create documents with a consistent look and feel, as well as to ensure that the documents are formatted correctly.
How Aspose.Total Helps for MD to DOT Conversion
Aspose.Total for Android Java is a comprehensive suite of APIs that enables developers to easily integrate MD to DOT conversion into their mobile applications. The package includes two APIs: Aspose.PDF for Android via Java and Aspose.Words for Android Java.
The Aspose.PDF for Android via Java API allows developers to convert MD files to DOC files. This API provides a wide range of features, including the ability to convert MD files to DOC, DOCX, HTML, and other formats. Additionally, the API supports a variety of image formats, including JPEG, PNG, and TIFF.
The Aspose.Words for Android Java API enables developers to render DOC files to DOT. This API provides a wide range of features, including the ability to render DOC files to DOT, DOCX, HTML, and other formats. Additionally, the API supports a variety of image formats, including JPEG, PNG, and TIFF.
By using the two APIs of Aspose.Total for Android Java, developers can easily integrate MD to DOT conversion into their mobile applications. This allows users to create documents with a consistent look and feel, as well as to ensure that the documents are formatted correctly.
Convert MD to DOT on Android via Java
Get Started with Android via Java APIs
You can easily use Aspose.Total for Android via Java directly from Maven and install Aspose.PDF for Android via Java and Aspose.Words for Android via Java in your applications.
Alternatively, you can get a ZIP file from downloads .
// load MD file with an instance of Document class
Document document = new Document("template.md");
// save MD as a DOC
document.save("DocOutput.doc", SaveFormat.DOC);
// load DOC with an instance of Document
Document outputDocument = new com.aspose.words.Document("DocOutput.doc");
// call save method while passing SaveFormat.DOT
outputDocument.save("output.dot", SaveFormat.DOT);
Get MD File Information on Android via Java
Before converting MD to DOT, you might need information about the document including author, creation date, keywords, modify date, subject, and title. This information is helpful for the decision making for the conversion process. Using the powerful Aspose.PDF for Android via Java API, you can get all of it. To get file-specific information about a MD file, first get the DocumentInfo object using getInfo method. Once the DocumentInfo object is retrieved, you can get the values of the individual properties.
// load MD document
Document doc = new Document("template.md");
// get document information
DocumentInfo docInfo = doc.getInfo();
// show document information
System.out.println("Author: " + docInfo.getAuthor());
System.out.println("Creation Date: " + docInfo.getCreationDate());
System.out.println("Keywords: " + docInfo.getKeywords());
System.out.println("Modify Date: " + docInfo.getModDate());
System.out.println("Subject: " + docInfo.getSubject());
System.out.println("Title: " + docInfo.getTitle());
Insert Endnotes in DOT Document in Android Apps
Apart from document conversion, you can also add a bunch of other features inside your Android Applications using Aspose.Words for Android via Java API. One of that feature is inserting endnotes and numbering in DOT document. If you want to insert a footnote or an endnote in a DOT document, please use DocumentBuilder.InsertFootnote method. This method inserts a footnote or endnote into the document. EndnoteOptions and FootnoteOptions classes represent numbering options for footnote and endnote.
// load document
Document doc = new Document("input.DOC");
// initialize document builder
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
// add text in it
builder.write("Some text");
// insert footnote
builder.insertFootnote(FootnoteType.ENDNOTE, "Endnote text.");
// initialize endnote options
EndnoteOptions option = doc.getEndnoteOptions();
// set restart rule
option.setRestartRule(FootnoteNumberingRule.RESTART_PAGE);
// set position
option.setPosition(EndnotePosition.END_OF_SECTION);
// save the document to disk.
doc.save("output.dot", SaveFormat.DOT);
