Export chat to text (word or libreoffice) in the same format IPED shows the whatsapp

[Klarissa-ksj]

We have an analyst that wants to copy a chat from IPED and paste it to Word because he wants to edit the text, highlight some parts.

The color of the chat in word shows the diference between who sended and who received the message, but this analyst would like the messages aligned to left or to right in word, equal to whatspp view.

Is it possible?

The whatsapp chat reports generated are simply HTML files. He can double click the chat, save and open in MS Word/LibreOffice, but not sure if those softwares will open the html report with the original formatting.

He can also take a picture of the viewer (there is an item in options menu for that) and edit the picture in his favorite image editor.

I think I found a couple of simple changes in the generated HTML that make it render in a better way when copied to (or inserted into) a MS Word / LibreOffice document.
It also seems that thumb images are not being rendered in MS Word.

An example of how it is displayed now:

After a couple of simple changes:

Although it is a very small enhancement, the modified version seems easier to follow.
@lfcnassif, do you think it is worth making this change (possibly moving this discussion to issues)?

For sure! Thank you @tc-wleite for taking a look. Is this a copy and paste or have you opened the html report directly in Word/LibreOffice?

I didn't find a button to move this to issues, maybe will need to open a new one.

I tried opening the HTML and copying and pasting from IPED's viewer, and both results were the same.

Yes. I think GitHub users requested this feature, but currently there is no such option.
I will create a new one.

Thank you. I'll wait for the changes! Great!
