Convert HTML to RichText in Google App Script - html

Question

I have to convert some HTML code to a Rich Text in order to assign it to a cell of a Google Spreadsheet App, and render it not as pure HTML, but as formatted text.
I am new on these stuffs, so I wish to have some suggestions from you.
Thank you so much!

Answer 1

I believe your goal is as follows.
You want to convert the rich text with HTML to the rich text into a cell of Google Spreadsheet.
You want to achieve this using Google Apps Script.
In this case, how about the following sample script? In this sample script, RichTextApp of a Google Apps Script library is used. I have created this library for managing the rich text between Google Spreadsheet, Google Document, and HTML.
Usage:
1. Install Google Apps Script library.
You can see the detail of this at here.
2. Sample script.
This sample script is from here. This script uses Drive API. So please enable Drive API at Advanced Google services.
function convertHTMLToRichText() {
var html = '###'; // Please set your HTML data. Of course, you can retrieve this from a HTML file on Google Drive.
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById("###").getSheetByName("Sheet1"); // Please set the Spreadsheet ID and sheet name.
// Create Google Document by converting HTML to Google Document as a temporal file.
var blob = Utilities.newBlob(html, MimeType.HTML, "sample.html");
var tempDocId = Drive.Files.insert(
{ title: "temp", mimeType: MimeType.GOOGLE_DOCS },
blob
).id;
// Put the value to a cell as the rich text using the method of "DocumentToSpreadsheet".
var res = RichTextApp.DocumentToSpreadsheet({
range: sheet.getRange("A1"),
document: DocumentApp.openById(tempDocId),
});
console.log(res);
// Remove the temporal file.
DriveApp.getFileById(tempDocId).setTrashed(true);
}
In this sample script, html of HTML data is converted to the rich text and put to a cell ("A1" of "Sheet1") of Google Spreadsheet as the rich text.
Note:
This is a simple sample script. So please modify this for your actual situation.
