pandoc.rs

//! Pandoc AST output (`--to pandoc`, #515): the document as the JSON
//! serialization of Pandoc's `Pandoc` type (`pandoc -f json`), which hands
//! docling.rs's parsing to every Pandoc writer — DOCX, ODT, EPUB, RST, Org,
//! Typst, AsciiDoc, … — through `docling-rs in.pdf --to pandoc | pandoc -f
//! json -t docx -o out.docx`.
//!
//! Like [`crate::html`] and [`crate::latex`] this walks the *JSON* document
//! model ([`export_to_json_value`](crate::DoclingDocument::export_to_json_value))
//! rather than the flat [`Node`](crate::Node) stream: the JSON export already
//! carries docling's item structure for every backend — the backend-built
//! item tree where one exists (HTML, DOCX: heading nesting, inline groups of
//! formatted runs, rich table cells), docling's generic grouping rules
//! otherwise — so the AST inherits those decisions instead of re-deriving
//! them. The walk is the HTML serializer's (`_iterate_items` with groups,
//! pictures not traversed, captions rendered by the item that owns them,
//! content layers filtered with their children still walked); only the
//! node it emits differs.
//!
//! Mapping (Pandoc constructor ← docling item):
//!
//! | docling | Pandoc |
//! |---|---|
//! | `title` | `Header 1` |
//! | `section_header` (level *n*) | `Header (n+1)`, capped at 6 — docling's title-reserving depth; under [`HeadingDepth::Source`] (#848) `Header n`, the depth the DOCX / ODT author wrote |
//! | `text`, `paragraph` | `Para` (`Plain` inside lists and table cells) |
//! | `inline` group | the runs' inlines joined by `Space` |
//! | formatting / hyperlink | `Strong`, `Emph`, `Underline`, `Strikeout`, `Subscript`, `Superscript`, then `Link` around it all — an internal link's target is `#id` (#849); a Markdown `[label](target)` inside an item's text, the flat node chain's hyperlink (`.doc`, AbiWord, …), is a `Link` too (#852) |
//! | a numbered heading (#850: a DOCX heading numbered through `w:numPr`, docling's `1.2 Title` text with `_number`) | the `Header` holds the authored text alone, `Title` — Pandoc numbers sections itself (`--number-sections`), and its docx reader writes no number, so a numbered AST would show `1.2 1.2 Title`; the Markdown and JSON keep docling's numbered text |
//! | a link destination (#849: a DOCX bookmark, `_anchors`) | on a heading, its `Header` identifier (Pandoc's own auto-identifier of the heading text, `target-section`, so `#target-section` resolves as it does from `pandoc -f docx`); anywhere else an empty `Span` with the identifier and the class `anchor`, Pandoc's docx reader's shape, at the start of the item's inlines |
//! | `list` group | `OrderedList` (first item enumerated; start, number style and delimiter from the items' markers — `a)` LowerAlpha OneParen, `iii.` LowerRoman from 3, `(3)` Decimal TwoParens, #835) / `BulletList`, nested lists inside their item |
//! | `code` | `CodeBlock` with the language as its class (`Code` inline) |
//! | `formula` | `Para [Math DisplayMath]` (`Math InlineMath` inline) |
//! | `checkbox_selected` / `_unselected` | the text after `☒` / `☐` — Pandoc's own task-list convention |
//! | `table` | `Table`: leading all-header rows as `TableHead`, `rowspan` / `colspan`, rich cells as their blocks, captions as the caption |
//! | `picture` | `Para [Image]` (Pandoc's readers' shape), or a `Figure` holding it when there is a caption or a tabular chart's data `Table`; the `Image`'s alt text is the picture's description — the alt text a DOCX / PPTX / XLSX / ODT author typed (#834) — else its caption; its `width` / `height` attributes the size the document displays it at; the target per [`ImageMode`] |
//! | footnotes of a table / picture | `Note` at the end of its caption (the float is the call site) |
//! | key-value / form graph | `Div .key-value-region` / `.form-container` holding a `DefinitionList` (or the nested `BulletList` of a hierarchical graph) |
//! | form `field_region` | `Div .field-region` holding a `DefinitionList`: `marker` + `field_key` as the term, each `field_value` a definition |
//! | any other text label (`caption` without an owner, `footnote` without one, `reference`, `handwritten_text`, `page_header`, …) | `Div .docling-<label> [Para]` |
//! | the document's metadata (#836) | `meta`: `title`, `subject`, `description`, `date` (the document's own, else its creation date), `publisher`, `rights`, `identifier` as `MetaInlines`, `author` and `keywords` as `MetaList`s of `MetaInlines`, `lang` as `MetaString` |
//! | a tracked change kept under `track_changes=all` (#851: a DOCX `w:ins` / `w:del` / `w:moveTo` / `w:moveFrom` run, `_revision`) | `Span .insertion` / `Span .deletion` with `author` and `date` around the run's inlines — Pandoc's docx reader's `--track-changes=all` shape; under an explicit `accept` / `reject` the document holds that view's text alone and the comments below are left out, as Pandoc leaves them |
//! | a reviewer comment on an item (#836) | Pandoc's docx reader's `--track-changes=all` shape: a `Span .comment-start` with `comment-id`, `author` and `date` holding the comment's text before the item's inlines, and an empty `Span .comment-end` with the `comment-id` after them; a thread's replies follow as further pairs |
//!
//! No Pandoc equivalent, so not written: provenance (pages, bounding boxes),
//! confidence and classification meta, form field geometry; furniture
//! (headers/footers) is off unless its [`ContentLayers`] are asked for,
//! exactly as in the HTML export, and the notes layer's comment sections
//! are written as the spans above, never as blocks. Images
//! are targets, not bytes, in Pandoc: the default [`ImageMode::Embedded`]
//! writes `data:` URIs, so the AST is self-contained and `pandoc -f json -t
//! docx` embeds every picture (#537); [`ImageMode::Referenced`] links files
//! under the artifacts directory (relative paths, resolved from where
//! `pandoc` runs). A picture without a target — [`ImageMode::Placeholder`],
//! or one whose payload docling cannot decode (EMF/WMF) — is still an
//! `Image`, classed `docling-placeholder` with an empty target: it survives
//! into every writer (which reports the missing resource and prints the alt
//! text) instead of vanishing as raw HTML.
//!
//! Version: the output is stamped [`PANDOC_API_VERSION`] — the latest
//! `pandoc-types` (Pandoc 3.x). Pandoc accepts a document whose
//! `pandoc-api-version` agrees on the first two components; a caller asking
//! for another API ([`PandocExportOptions::api_version`]) gets
//! [`PandocError::UnsupportedApiVersion`] rather than a document Pandoc would
//! reject. Every node is built through the [`ast`] constructors, the one
//! place a future API change touches.
