docx

Unpack the .docx file, then use the Python Document library to wrap edits in <w:ins> and <w:del> tags at the paragraph level. The library auto-injects RSIDs, author, and date attributes, and validates the result on save.

Use the docx npm package to build a Document from Paragraph, TextRun, Table, and ImageRun components, then export with Packer.toBuffer(). Define custom styles and numbering configs for professional formatting and proper lists.

Convert the document to markdown using pandoc with the --track-changes=all flag to preserve insertions and deletions. For comments, embedded media, or complex formatting, unpack the file and read the raw XML in word/document.xml.

Common causes include standalone PageBreak elements outside a Paragraph, using ShadingType.SOLID for table cells, or nesting tracked changes inside <w:r> elements. Follow the schema ordering rules and use the Document library's validation on save.

Yes. Use revert_insertion() to wrap an insertion in a deletion, or revert_deletion() to restore deleted content as a new insertion. Never modify text inside another author's <w:ins> or <w:del> tags directly.
