Convert DOCX to Markdown

Turns a Word table into a Markdown one, which is usually the whole point - getting a table out of a document and into a README or an issue. Bold, colour and cell shading do not survive the trip.

What is DOCX?

What Word has saved since 2007: a zip of XML parts, replacing the binary .doc that came before it. It is a page format through and through - paragraphs, styles, revision marks - with no notion of a typed value anywhere in it, so a table in a Word file is text arranged in a grid rather than data.

What is Markdown?

Plain text with just enough punctuation to imply formatting, which is why it ended up as the default for READMEs, issues, wikis and notes. Its tables are the awkward part - a pipe-and-dash grid that's readable enough written by hand and tedious to maintain by hand.
