Trying to find list of supported CSS for TCPDF

Question

I am trying to find the list of supported CSS for TCPDF - supposedly there's a list in here: getHtmlDomArray(), but I cannot find this function in any of the files.

Has it been updated recently? I'm trying to add margins on every div.

Solution 1

Margin and padding doesn't work with TCPDF.

You can see two links :

• Why does TCPDF ignore my inline CSS?

But I don't now if the list is complet. (Edit) His link doesn't work but the new link is here : TCPDF doc

And this one :

• TCPDF not render all CSS properties

he suggests to take wkhtmltopdf if you need convert html to pdf but I never use.

I have try to do something with tcpdf and I think that it's not the better for html but the multicell() is very good.

Solution 2

Generally, TCPDF supports following attributes

• color
• background-color
• font-size
• font-weight
• font-family
• text-align
• text-transform
• width
• height
• border

Does not supported margin, padding, etc attributes of CSS. If you want to use CSS attributes then you have define in . Example is given below.

// define some HTML content with style
$html = <<<EOF

<style>
    h1 {
        color: navy;
        font-family: times;
        font-size: 24pt;
        text-decoration: underline;
    }
    p.first {
        color: #003300;
        font-family: helvetica;
        font-size: 12pt;
    }
    p.first span {
        color: #006600;
        font-style: italic;
    }
    p#second {
        color: rgb(00,63,127);
        font-family: times;
        font-size: 12pt;
        text-align: justify;
    }
    p#second > span {
        background-color: #FFFFAA;
    }
    table.first {
        color: #003300;

        text-align: center;
    }
    .lowercase {
        text-transform: lowercase;
    }
    .uppercase {
        text-transform: uppercase;
    }
    .capitalize {

I saw that, but the documentation page isn't there anymore, and that was several months ago.
