We had problems with .docx files containing html tags of type <a> </a>, when we wanted to export them to epub. Checking the code in the file: bookContructor.js through a regular expression we excluded this type of tags and allowed to export them.

Code:

if (/(<a(.*?)>)+/gi.test(contentBook)) {
        contentBook = contentBook.replace(/(<a(.*?)>)+/gi, '')
      }

if (/(<\/a>)+/gi.test(contentBook)) {
        contentBook = contentBook.replace(/(<\/a>)+/gi, '')
      }
