html-to-docx is a js library for converting HTML documents to DOCX format supported by Microsoft Word 2007+, LibreOffice Writer, Google Docs, WPS Writer etc.
It was inspired by html-docx-js project but mitigates the problem of documents generated being non-compatiable with word processors like Google Docs and libreOffice Writer that doesn't support altchunks feature.
html-to-docx earlier used to use libtidy to clean up the html before parsing, but had to remove it since it was causing so many dependency issues due to node-gyp.
Even though there is an instance of html-to-docx running in production, please ensure that it covers all the cases that you might be encountering usually, since this is not a complete solution.
Currently it doesn't work with browser directly, but it was tested against React.
Use the npm to install foobar.

Currently page break can be implemented by having div with classname "page-break" or style "page-break-after" despite the values of the "page-break-after", and contents inside the div element will be ignored. <div class="page-break" style="page-break-after: always;"></div>
CSS list-style-type for <ol> element are now supported. Just do something like this in the HTML:
<ol style="list-style-type:lower-alpha;">
<li>List item</li>
...
</ol>
List of supported list-style-types:
- upper-alpha, will result in
A. List item - lower-alpha, will result in
a. List item - upper-roman, will result in
I. List item - lower-roman, will result in
i. List item - lower-alpha-bracket-end, will result in
a) List item - decimal-bracket-end, will result in
1) List item - decimal-bracket, will result in
(1) List item - decimal, (the default) will result in
1. List item
Also you could add attribute data-start="n" to start the numbering from the n-th.
<ol data-start="2"> will start the numbering from ( B. b. II. ii. 2. )
