Import Namespaces

To get started with GroupDocs.Editor for .NET, you’ll need to import the necessary namespaces. This will allow you to access the classes and methods required for document editing.

using System;
using GroupDocs.Editor.Options;

Step 1: Initialize the Editor

The first step in our process is to initialize the Editor class with your document. This class is the entry point for all editing operations.

You need to load the document you wish to edit. For this example, we’ll use a sample Word document.

using (Editor editor = new Editor("Your Sample Document", delegate { return new WordProcessingLoadOptions(); }))
{
    // Continue to the next step
}

Step 2: Edit the Document

Next, we’ll use the Edit method of the Editor class to create an editable version of the document.

We’ll specify the editing options for the document. In this case, we’ll use WordProcessingEditOptions.

using (EditableDocument document = editor.Edit(new WordProcessingEditOptions()))
{
    // Continue to the next step
}

Step 3: Retrieve HTML Body Content

Now, we will retrieve the body content of the document in HTML format. This is where the magic happens!

Using the GetBodyContent method, we can extract the inner content of the HTML <body> element.

string bodyContent = document.GetBodyContent();
Console.WriteLine("Inner content of the HTML->BODY element: {0}", bodyContent);
