I have a -how-to document that was made in Google Docs. It has a table of contents, headers, sub headers, text, picture subtitles and images that are inline with the text.
My task is to bring this doc into our website in EditorX.
I tried using the GoogleDrive App widget to import the document, but I constantly got error popups from Google Drive that “Something went wrong” and it was reported to Google. I also couldn’t control the format well, since Google Docs only offers 4 widths (in pageless mode), nor could I create an anchor menu/toc that worked.
I also tried saving the Google doc in HTML and pasting that into an embed widget. Same types of problems as the GoogleDrive app… couldn’t create an anchor menu or toc.
I was told by EditorX support that I have to make each paragraph of text its own text box, because EditorX doesn’t support inlining images within text. Also, because we need an anchor menu/toc, I also have to make the header for each section its own text box. This is because EditorX doesn’t support placing an anchor within a block of text (such as the first word of each section) It only supports anchors on an “object”
This is INCREDIBLY PAINFUL. Pretty much every other tool I’ve used to assemble a document can handle having the images push the text around, offering options for how the text will wrap around the image.
They also support putting anchors on any word of text.
Just the process of adding a text box, copying and pasting the paragraph from another document into the EditorX is humiliatingly slow.
Does anyone have any other options for me?
