Description Simon Urli 2019-06-21 14:09:59 UTC 
Description:
I cannot save some HTML file to RTF. 
I have not been able to identify what part of the HTML makes it failing. 

Note that the HTML file refers to some images: I tried to do the export with and without the images without any difference.
Exporting the file to ODT works fine. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the attached file export_input.html with Writer (not Writer/Web)
2. Save as RTF document


Actual Results:
The save process seems to never end and a growing tmp files is created. It can go up to 4 Go where I decided to kill the process. 

Expected Results:
The doc is properly saved as an RTF document


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

HTML file with its pictures

This zip files also contains the pictures that the HTML refers to. The bug can be reproduced without it, but I originally obtained it with them.

and with current master (tested attachment 152345 [details]).

Code pointer from debug (I don't plan to work on this, so hopefully this saves a few cycles to whoever fixes this): MSWordExportBase::WriteText never finishes, with m_pTableInfo->getNextNode(pCurrentNode) returning node 354 for current node 359, creating infinite loop.

You need to add "--writer" to the command. See Bug 40186 and my comment there.

After some recent improvements to RTF stuff, I thought to try this, but I repro with the command line conversion
