benbalter/word-to-markdown

This system is a Ruby library and command-line tool that converts Microsoft Word documents (.docx) into Markdown format. It achieves this by leveraging LibreOffice as an external conversion engine to process the files, rather than parsing them directly. The tool provides a CLI interface for batch or single-file conversion and includes a modular library for integrating this functionality into other Ruby applications.

The Cliver library now includes a new \Dependency\ extension that provides convenient accessors for dependency information. Users can now retrieve the detected binary path via \detected\_path\ (aliased as \path\), check if the dependency process is currently running via \open?\, and access the major version number via \major\_version\. The \open?\ method safely handles potential argument errors from the underlying process table inspection, and version detection is skipped on Windows platforms.

A new executable script \bin/w2m\ has been added to the project, providing a command-line interface to convert Word documents to Markdown. Users can run the tool by passing a path to a \.docx\ file as an argument, or use the \--version\ flag to display the current WordToMarkdown and LibreOffice versions (excluding LibreOffice version on Windows). The script includes basic usage validation and help output.

The project now includes a script/bootstrap script to install dependencies and a script/cibuild script that runs the test suite, RuboCop, and builds the gem. Additionally, the interactive console script has been updated to use Pry instead of IRB for a better development experience.

This change introduces the core components of the Word-to-Markdown library, including the Document class for handling file paths, temporary directories, and LibreOffice conversion filters, and the Converter class for semanticizing HTML content (such as headings, tables, and list items) before generating Markdown output. The library is initialized with version 1.1.9.

The \Nokogiri::XML::Element\ class now includes a \font\_size\ method that returns the element's font size from its styles, defaulting to 12.0 if no font-size style is present. This change introduces a standard baseline for font sizing within the library's XML element handling.

The project has been modernized with several infrastructure and configuration changes. RuboCop is now integrated for code style enforcement, targeting Ruby 3.2 and including performance and minitest plugins. Docker support has been added via a new Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml, allowing users to run the converter in a containerized environment with LibreOffice pre-installed. The README has been updated to highlight a JavaScript successor project, provide clearer installation and usage instructions (including a new command-line interface), and list supported features like tables and implicit headings. CI configurations for Travis CI and AppVeyor have been restructured to test against multiple Ruby versions and LibreOffice versions, and dependency management is now handled by Renovate.

The library has been restructured to delegate document conversion to LibreOffice (soffice) instead of parsing Word files directly. The main class now initializes a Document and Converter, requiring the user to provide a path to a Word document which is then converted via an external process. This change introduces new dependencies including 'cliver' for dependency resolution, 'premailer' for CSS inlining, and 'nokogiri-styles', while removing the previous inline HTML parsing logic. The API now supports an optional temporary directory argument and includes built-in logging and path detection for LibreOffice across Windows and macOS.

Cleanup of obsolete Microsoft Word HTML test fixtures; Migrate test suite to Minitest and add comprehensive coverage.

The gemspec has been significantly updated to declare a minimum Ruby version of 3.2 and replace the local path dependency on reverse\_markdown with a remote version constraint (\>= 1, \< 3). New runtime dependencies have been added, including cliver, descriptive\_statistics (\~\> 2.5), logger, nokogiri-styles, premailer, and sys-proctable, while development dependencies have been upgraded to modern versions such as rake (\~\> 13.0), shoulda (\~\> 4.0), minitest (\~\> 5.0), and rubocop (\~\> 1.0). The Gemfile.lock was removed, and the Gemfile was simplified to use the gemspec with added test coverage via simplecov.
