Subject: docx2txt fails on docx files which contain legitimate whitespace in
their XML
Package: docx2txt
Version: 1.4-1
Severity: normal
a .docx file is a PKZip container. each of its elements are XML files.
XML is generally allowed to have whitespace between members, though
most .docx generators do not do so.
consider the attached hello-world.docx. it works with docx2txt:
$ docx2txt < hello-world.docx
Hello world
$
but a simple script can pretty-print all the files in there, and after that
conversion, docx2txt dumps something XML-ish instead of text:
$ cat pretty-print-docx
#!/bin/bash
workdir="$(mktemp -d)"
mkdir -p "$workdir/in" "$workdir/out"
declare -a files
files=($( zipinfo -1 "$1" ))
unzip -q "$1" -d "$workdir/in"
for x in "${files[@]}"; do
mkdir -p "$workdir/out/$(dirname "$x")"
xmllint --pretty 2 --output "$workdir/out/$x" "$workdir/in/$x"
done
(cd "$workdir/out" && zip -q - "${files[@]}") > "$(basename "$1"
.docx).pretty.docx"
$ ./pretty-print-docx hello-world.docx
$ docx2txt < hello-world.pretty.docx
