Bug

Docling crashes on the attached docx file.

test_doc-small.docx

The file features examples of:

1. standard heading styles;
2. custom heading styles (styles that have exact outline level specified);
3. tables;
4. formulas;
5. enumerations with numbers (single-level);
6. enumerations with numbers (multi-level);
7. enumerations with bullet-points;
8. headers;
9. footers;
10. footnotes.

The file was created using Word from Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2019.

Steps to reproduce

Create a python script: convert_with_docling.py

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import sys
from docling.document_converter import DocumentConverter

def main():
    if len(sys.argv) != 3:
        print(f"Usage: {sys.argv[0]} <source> <output_file>")
        sys.exit(1)
    source = sys.argv[1]
    output_file = sys.argv[2]
    converter = DocumentConverter()
    result = converter.convert(source)
    with open(output_file, 'w', encoding='utf-8') as f:
        f.write(result.document.export_to_markdown())

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Run:

python convert_with_docling.py test_doc-small.docx output.md

I get the following exception:
