swordfish's Issues

UTF-8 support

I am really keen on Swordfish, I'd been searching for such an utility for ages!

However, is there any way how to preserve another languages next to English?

When I am parsing a Czech file, the result includes many errors on diacritical marks places...

I am sorry I am writing my question here, don't now how to do that better. It could be a feature request!

Thanks!

Collapse together tags with identical markup

If an imported Word document includes multiple text runs with identical formatting, it will be rendered with redundant tags by swordfish.

    <w:p w14:paraId="2B8680DD" w14:textId="15414D41" w:rsidR="006A368B" w:rsidRPr="00313672" w:rsidRDefault="000D3167" w:rsidP="006A368B">
        <w:pPr>
            <w:rPr>
                <w:rFonts w:ascii="Times New Roman" w:hAnsi="Times New Roman" w:cs="Times New Roman"/>
                <w:b/>
                <w:color w:val="222222"/>
            </w:rPr>
        </w:pPr>
        <w:r>
            <w:rPr>
                <w:rFonts w:ascii="Times New Roman" w:hAnsi="Times New Roman" w:cs="Times New Roman"/>
                <w:b/>
                <w:color w:val="222222"/>
            </w:rPr>
            <w:t>ABC</w:t>
        </w:r>
        <w:r w:rsidR="006A368B">
            <w:rPr>
                <w:rFonts w:ascii="Times New Roman" w:hAnsi="Times New Roman" w:cs="Times New Roman"/>
                <w:b/>
                <w:color w:val="222222"/>
            </w:rPr>
            <w:t xml:space="preserve">
            </w:t>
        </w:r>
        <w:r w:rsidR="006A368B" w:rsidRPr="00A171DF">
            <w:rPr>
                <w:rFonts w:ascii="Times New Roman" w:hAnsi="Times New Roman" w:cs="Times New Roman"/>
                <w:i/>
                <w:iCs/>
                <w:color w:val="222222"/>
            </w:rPr>
            <w:t>123</w:t>
        </w:r>
    </w:p>

becomes

<p><b>ABC</b><b> </b><i>123</i></p>

Headers

I see headers are supported (early stage) but can't reach any result when testing that. I guess it searches and evaluates the paragraph font size in comparison with its surroundings (this does not work for me). In my test file the header is typically marked like:

<w:pPr>
  <w:pStyle w:val="Nadpis1" />

The "Nadpis1" value would change according to the users language of Office. Do you count with this or are you convinced it would be more smart and take the values it probably takes now (sizes)? How to make that working, please?

Swordfish is really inspiring, I will fork it again and try to shape it to produce xml files. Our publishing house would use it for much quicker publication (we are non-profit academic house). That means, you helped a lot with the gem 👍

Docx "Track Changes" markup

Support needs to be added for Word "track changes" markup, which includes a history of elements that have been inserted, deleted, or moved. Right now any document with changes tracked (that haven't been accepted) will result in incorrect rendered content, such as missing certain text or including text that has been deleted.

Docx Complex Fields

Add support for docx "complex fields"—a series of five or more runs that define a control flow rather than regular text. In particular, this is needed for the "HYPERLINK" field, since that corresponds to a distinct non-plaintext HTML element.

Write Word Doc

Would it be difficult to add the ability to update an existing document or output a new a word doc built up programmatically in swordfish?
