Office Document Structure Extraction With Semantic Preservation

Python tool for converting files and office documents to Markdown.

Unique: Parses Office Open XML structure directly via python-docx/openpyxl/python-pptx to reconstruct semantic hierarchy (heading levels, list nesting, table layouts) rather than treating documents as flat text. This preserves document organization for downstream semantic analysis, unlike simple text extraction tools.

vs others: Preserves heading hierarchies and table structures better than pandoc's Office conversion because it uses native Office XML parsing libraries that understand semantic structure, not just text content.
