Could you please help me with this issue?

My code -

style_map = """ p[style-name='Section Title'] => h1:fresh p[style-name='Subsection Title'] => h2:fresh """ docx_file = ".../test.doc" html = mammoth.convert_to_markdown(docx_file, style_map=style_map)

Logs -

From your code, it looks as though you're trying to convert a .doc document rather than a .docx document. If that's the case, then I'm afraid Mammoth only supports reading .docx documents. If it is a .docx document, please provide a minimal example so that the issue can be reproduced.

@mwilliamson Thanks for your response. I have another question. I have few tabular and image content in .docx file, when I converted it to .pdf I don't see the same structure as .docx in pdf.

.docx -> html -> pdf

Could you please help me with sample on working with Tabular and Image data.

style_map = """ p[style-name='Section Title'] => h1:fresh p[style-name='Subsection Title'] => h2:fresh """ docx_file = ".../test.docx" html = mammoth.convert_to_markdown(docx_file, style_map=style_map)

Thanks, Arjun S

Could you post a minimal example document, the HTML you're expecting, and the HTML you're currently getting?
