I had a wild idea that I could build a website blog for an unsophisticated user friend using Google Drive Documents to back it. I was able to create a contentService that compiles a list of documents. However, I can't see a way to convert the document to HTML. I know that Google can render documents in a web page, so I wondered if it was possible to get a rendered version for use in my content service.
Is this possible?
There is no direct method in GAS to get an HTML version of a doc and this is quite an old enhancement request but the workaround described originally by Henrique Abreu works pretty well, I use it all the time...
The only annoying thing in the authorization process that needs to be called from the script editor which makes it uneasy to use in a shared application (with "script unable" users) but this only happens once ;).
There is also a Library created by Romain Vialard that makes things (a bit) easier... and adds a few other interesting functions.
