Original Summary
Hey HN, I’m the author of the <a href="https://github.com/eigenpal/docx-editor" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/eigenpal/docx-editor</a>, it’s an SDK that implements Word-compatible layout engine in Typescript.<p>Today, we are releasing Word to markdown converter library. It’s open source and published under Apache 2.0 license. It uses our layout engine, so it can return accurate, per-page markdown blocks (with headers, footers, and image references). We also handle fonts (Google fonts as fallback) or let you pass your font files upfront for accurate content measurement.<p>To our surprise, Word to per-page Markdown conversion is not a solved problem even in 2026! We initially faced this friction when preprocessing Word documents for agentic workflows. For our use case, it was important to represent per-page content in markdown. Initially, we ended up using LibreOffice sidecar to convert to PDF and then using .pdf -> .md library. This was not ideal given that LibreOffice sidecar that was sitting idle most of the time.<p>This issue is addressed with docx-to-markdown library. it can be used directly in your Typescript ingestion pipeline. Try with your docs at <a href="https://www.docx-editor.dev/solutions/word-to-markdown" rel="nofollow">https://www.docx-editor.dev/solutions/word-to-markdown</a>.<p>(if you catch any bugs please let us know in the comments / or file gh issues)
