DOCX? #117

Open nidegen opened 4 years ago

Hi there!

I'd be interested in parsing .docx. Is that of similar scope as this?

Ideally, I'd have a markdown to docx parser at some point:)

I had an attempt to implement .pptx in #63, but haven't got that completely finished. I imagine .docx support would look quite similar. I'm still on the fence whether it should be added to this specific project, or a separate umbrella project. Also, what you're describing here would imply generating new .docx files from this library I assume? In my experience, providing read-write support is much easier than read-only support, as testing compatibility with files that the library produces requires a lot of effort.

Overall, it's potentially in the scope, maybe I would need to create a separate project for it, but I haven't considered it yet due to the previous lack of demand.
