Convert HTML & CSS to DOC(X)?

Question

Is there some utility that could be called via command line to produce a doc(x) file? The source file would be HTML and CSS.

I am trying to generate Word documents on the fly with PHP. I am only aware of phpdocx library, which is very low level and not much use for me (I already have one poor implementation of Word document generation).

What I need from a document:

• TOC
• Images
• Footers/Headers (they could be manually made on each HTML page)
• Table
• Lists
• Page break (able to decide what goes to which page, eg one HTML file per page, join multiple HTML files to produce the entire document.)
• Paragraphs
• Basic bold/etc styles

I didn't find PHPDOCX very useful either. An alternative could be PHPWord, i think it covers what you need. According the website it can do these things:

• Insert and format document sections
• Insert and format Text elements
• Insert Text breaks
• Insert Page breaks
• Insert and format Images and binary OLE-Objects
• Insert and format watermarks (new)
• Insert Header / Footer
• Insert and format Tables
• Insert native Titles and Table-of-contents
• Insert and format List elements
• Insert and format hyperlinks
• Very simple template system (new)

In your case that isn't enough, but there is a plugin available to convert (basic) HTML to Docx and it works very good in my opinion. http://htmltodocx.codeplex.com/

I am using this for a year or two now and am happy with it. Altough i have to add that the HTML can't be to complex.
