FAQ

How do I extract text from a .docx document?

You can extract text from a .docx file by converting it to markdown using Pandoc. This will preserve document structure and tracked changes. The command to use is: `pandoc --track-changes=all path-to-file.docx -o output.md`.

Can I edit someone else's .docx document with tracked changes?

Yes, you should use the 'Redlining workflow' for editing someone else's document. This workflow is also recommended for legal, academic, business, or government documents.

What tools are required for creating a new .docx document?

To create a new .docx document, you should use 'docx-js', a JavaScript/TypeScript library. You will need to fully read the 'docx-js.md' file for syntax, formatting rules, and best practices before proceeding with document creation.

Is there a requirement to read a file before editing or creating a document?

Yes, before editing or creating documents, it is mandatory to read the relevant documentation file completely. For creating new documents, read 'docx-js.md', and for editing, read 'ooxml.md' in full.
