New tool: Word → Markdown / HTML #22
Description
The Word → PDF tool already parses .docx (paragraphs, headings, lists, tables, images) into HTML inside src/engine/office.ts. Exposing that as a download gives two popular converters almost for free.
Approach
- Word → HTML: return the generated HTML as a standalone
.htmlfile (images inlined as data URLs). - Word → Markdown: convert the same structure to Markdown (
#headings,-/1.lists, pipe tables,**bold**/*italic*). - Two registry entries in
src/site.ts(e.g.word-to-markdown,word-to-html) sharing one op with aformatpreset, likepdf-to-text/pdf-to-markdowndo.
Done when
tests/fixtures/rich.docx→ Markdown keeps its heading levels, list items and table cells (unit test).

Thanks for the interest, @AmariAugustin, really appreciate the enthusiasm!
To keep things fair during Hacktoberfest, I'm assigning one issue per contributor at a time, so other first-time contributors get a chance too. You already have #6, so let's start there. Once your PR for #6 is open, comment here again and if this one is still free I'll happily assign it to you.
Thanks again for contributing to Fizzdoc!

Hi @kingrishabdugar, I'm working with @AmariAugustin (his PR for #6 is #91). Could you assign this one to me?

Hi @TristanKeller, welcome, and thanks for offering! I've assigned #22 to you.
A few pointers to get started:
src/engine/office.ts(docxToHtmlturns a .docx into HTML for Word to PDF), so most of the work is reusing that and saving the result as an.htmlor.mdfile instead of printing it.src/site.ts, its strings insrc/i18n.ts, and a test that opens the output and checks its contents (see the existing tests intests/for the style). Translations for the other languages can come in a follow-up; I'm happy to help with those.npm run checkandnpm run test:e2ebefore opening the PR, and keep it to this one tool.If anything is unclear, just ask here. Looking forward to it!
