Hi Morten

Thanks for the response. We are looking at apache *POI* and *docx4j*. We
are also looking at some node based solutions like *officegen*. There is
one more interesting software that we have evaluated called *pandoc*. This
is a very powerful tool and is capable of converting between different
formats (ODF, openXML document, Microsoft XML, JSON,Markdown..etc).

The general requirements we are looking at are (in case we go through the
server side approach). The API contract is still not clear to us. Will have
to spend some time on it.

But roughly it entails:
- Exposing an API that will take in the content and give out a word
document.
- The input DTO we will have to design which will have the details about
the styling, tables, images, paragraphs (the current requirement)

Does it look like a generic requirement? Would like to hear from about it
from Lars and others as well.

Regards
Vanya
