This is a Google Apps Script library for supporting Document service, Docs API, Spreadsheet service, Sheets API, Slides service and Slides API. The aim of this library is to compensate the processes that they services cannot achieve.
The purpose of this contribution from Tanaike is to extend Google Apps Script to interact with certain types of Google Drive files using methods not included in the existing core or advanced services. Features worth noting are:
Google Docs:
Retrieve table width and column width from the table. The tables inserted with the default width are included.
Google Sheets:
Retrieve all images in Google Spreadsheet as an object including the cell range and image blob.
Retrieve all comments in Google Spreadsheet as an object including the cell range and comments.
Insert images in cells of Google Spreadsheet using the image blob.
Create new Google Spreadsheet by setting the custom header and footer.
Microsoft Word:
Retrieve table width and column width.
Microsoft Excel:
Retrieve all values and formulas of the cells.
Retrieve all sheet names.
Retrieve all images as an object including the cell range and image blob.
Retrieve all comments as an object including the cell range and comments.

Great work! I also recommend checking out https://t.co/omjoX8cynI which can be modified to send HTML emails from a Google Document. That is how I used to manage all of our automation’s emails — template files in Google Doc that were converted to HTML for email.
For those interested in workflows for using Google Docs as an email template this solution already has a emailHtml() function you can build on which appears to already inline images from your Google Doc.
The following is designed to bulk create Google Docs from rows of data within a Google Sheet and to include some of that data within the new Doc body (so they become customised files). It also creates a link to the new Google Doc back in the Sheet on the relevant row.
I use Google Apps Script to support staff and students in my job. I enjoy dabbling with creating tools to help with automation and I freely share my learning experiences on my blog, where I also have a number of useful Google Add-ons: www.pbainbridge.co.uk
This is a GAS library for copying the rich text with the text styles from Google Document to Google Spreadsheet or from Google Spreadsheet to Google Document using Google Apps Script (GAS). And, also the rich texts in the cells can be converted to HTML format.
Nice little helper library for copying rich text formatting from Google Docs and Sheets. You can view the project README for information on the formats that are currently supported. Personally, the inclusion of the RichTextToHTMLForSpreadsheet method looks particularly useful for converting rich text formatting in Google Sheets cells to HTML for mail merge applications.
Create a Google Doc for each submission of a Google Form and translate some of that Form data into the Doc. It puts a link to the newly created Google Doc back into the spreadsheet alongside the relevant row. The Name field from the Form is used as part of the filename for the created Doc and there is a Log sheet to support any troubleshooting errors.

With the Code Blocks add-on for Google Docs you can create formatted code blocks using a wide variety of themes and language support for syntax highlighting. This is a great add-on for anyone wanting to create technical training materials in Google Docs.
Drive add-on that converts a Google Doc to simple, readable Markdown or HTML.
This add-on is helpful for anyone doing technical writing or producing technical content. With Docs to Markdown, you can easily export the content of your Google doc for publication on a variety of other web-based platforms or CMSs.
This simple tutorial should get you started with grabbing text from a Google Doc for other uses. You could certainly make a lot of changes to the code to introduce more search rules. Likewise, you could use regular expressions to search for some really cool stuff, but for a simple overview this should get you started.
This post provides a detailed how-to of getting a list of information from the document that you have noticed are between two sets of characters.
Laura Taylor recently spoke at SheetsCon on the topic of Automation with Apps Script. During the presentation, she walked through a simple approval workflow for a hypothetical small business to demonstrate the power of Apps Script to automate workflow inside G Suite. She also showcased modern ECMAScript features supported by the new Apps Script V8 Javascript runtime.
The article is an overview of the workflow covered in the author’s presentation along with install instructions for trying it out in your G Suite domain.
