 ## Benchmark
 
 anydoc is measured against six other converters on 100 real-world documents spanning fourteen formats. Scores run from 0 to 100, higher is better; speed is the median time to convert one document.

+# Format support and limitations
+
+anydoc aims for clean, LLM-ready Markdown rather than a pixel-faithful render. Most formats parse into a shared document model and then render through one GFM serializer; PDF is the exception (see below). This page lists what is kept, reduced, or dropped in the current code.
+
+For the extension matrix, see [Supported formats](README.md#supported-formats) in the README.
+
+## Cross-cutting
+
+These apply wherever the shared model and Markdown renderer are used (everything except PDF Markdown extraction).
+
+| Area | Behavior |
+| --- | --- |
+| Embedded images / OLE objects | Markdown shows **alt text only**. Raw bytes stay on `Document.assets` (with a media type) when the parser retained them. External image URLs become ordinary Markdown images. Tracking: [#63](https://github.com/firecrawl/anydoc/issues/63); open work also explores `asset:N` hrefs and PDF image files. |
+| Nested tables | GFM cannot nest tables. An inner table inside a cell is **flattened** into that cell (` / ` between cells, `<br>` between rows). Structure is lost; text is kept. Tracking: [#14](https://github.com/firecrawl/anydoc/issues/14). |
+| Page / column breaks | Not represented in Markdown. A break still separates the runs around it so words do not glue together. |
+| Encryption | Password-protected / encrypted packages error as `Encrypted`. |
+| Recovery | Corrupt optional parts are often skipped with a log; conversion continues when useful content remains. Log messages are not a stable API. |
+| Literal `1.` (and similar) at line start | Real lists from source numbering (`w:numPr` and equivalents) become Markdown ordered lists such as `1. item`. When a plain paragraph's text itself starts with `1.` (or lookalikes like `-`, `+`, or `#`) and the source has no list numbering, the marker is escaped (`1\. item`) so Markdown parsers do not invent a list that was not in the document. |
+
+## Word (`.doc`, `.docx`, `.docm`)
+
+**Kept:** body text; headings and styles that map to structure; bold/italic/strikethrough; lists with source numbering; tables (including merges and header-row flags); hyperlinks; footnotes and endnotes; docx text-box content (`w:txbxContent`); chart / SmartArt **text** when those parts resolve; embedded pictures and OLE objects as assets (Markdown: alt text).
+
+**Not in the document model / not read:**
+
+| Feature | Notes |
+| --- | --- |
+| Page headers and footers | docx reads `word/document.xml` (plus notes parts), not header/footer parts. Binary `.doc` builds only the main story (`ccpText`); header/footer story ranges are not assembled. |
+| Comments / annotations | Not extracted. |
+| Tracked changes | Not modeled; visible result text may appear depending on what the file stores in the main story. |
+| Form controls as forms | Complex field **results** and structured-document-tag **content** are walked as ordinary text. There is no form-field / checkbox / dropdown model. |
+| Layout chrome | Page numbers, watermark drawings, and similar page furniture are out of scope for Markdown. |
+| Equations | Office Math (OMML) is not converted on current `main`. |
+
+Binary `.doc` also skips comment and macro story ranges; footnotes and endnotes are included when present.
+
+## PowerPoint (`.ppt`, `.pptx`, and related)
+
+**Kept:** slide text in document order; title placeholders as headings where recognized; tables; hyperlinks (pptx); speaker notes as a block quote after the slide (fixed policy); pictures as assets (alt text in Markdown); chart / diagram **text** when parts resolve. pptx applies the slide -> layout -> master text cascade for placeholder styling.
+
+**Dropped or reduced:**
+
+| Feature | Notes |
+| --- | --- |
+| Header / footer / date / slide-number chrome | pptx skips `hdr`, `ftr`, `dt`, and `sldNum` placeholders (and the slide-image placeholder on notes). ODP skips presentation classes `header`, `footer`, `date-time`, and `page-number`. |
+| Notes master / template chrome | Excluded; only notes that belong to a slide are kept. |
+| Animations, transitions, timing | Not represented. |
+| Slide geometry / z-order | Reading order follows the shape tree / record stream, not a visual layout engine. |
+| Legacy `.ppt` hyperlinks | Hyperlink records may be present but targets are not resolved into link inlines. |
+| Slide boundaries | Slides are concatenated into one document. Untitled slides can read as a continuation of the previous slide unless a title heading separates them. Tracking: [#31](https://github.com/firecrawl/anydoc/issues/31). |
+
+## Excel / spreadsheets (`.xls`, `.xlsx`, `.xlsm`, `.xlsb`)
+
+Parsed through calamine into one Markdown table per sheet (sheet name as a heading when the workbook has more than one sheet).
+
+| Feature | Notes |
+| --- | --- |
+| Cell values | Cached / calculated values as calamine exposes them. Formula expressions themselves are not emitted. |
+| Number formats | Display formats (percent, currency, thousands separators, and similar) are not applied; numeric cells render as raw values (for example `0.075` instead of `7.5%`). Tracking: [#27](https://github.com/firecrawl/anydoc/issues/27). |
+| Hidden rows and columns | Treated like visible cells; no visibility flag on the model. Tracking: [#9](https://github.com/firecrawl/anydoc/issues/9). |
+| Hidden / very-hidden sheets | Included like visible sheets on current `main`. |
+| Charts, images, comments, pivots, VBA | Not extracted. |
+| Merged cells | Supported when the container exposes merge regions; regions are intersected with the used range. |
+| Empty trailing area | Only the used range is materialized. |
+
+## OpenDocument (`.odt`, `.ods`, `.odp`)
+
+Shares the ODF frontend (`content.xml`, optional `styles.xml`).
+
+**Kept:** text structure; lists; tables; footnotes/endnotes (odt); images and text boxes in `draw:frame`; odp speaker notes as a block quote; ods cell display text, with typed `office:value*` fallbacks when a cell has no text.
+
+**Dropped or reduced:**
+
+| Feature | Notes |
+| --- | --- |
+| Master-page headers / footers | Not read from styles; odp page chrome classes (`header`, `footer`, `date-time`, `page-number`) are skipped. |
+| Annotations / tracked changes | Skipped in the text walker. |
+| Soft page breaks | Ignored. |
+| Charts / drawing objects without text or image | Not turned into structure beyond resolvable images and text boxes. |
+| Hidden sheet / row visibility (ods) | No visibility filter equivalent to Excel's sheet state; content in `content.xml` is emitted. |
+| Formulas (ods) | Formula strings are not emitted; cell text or typed value attributes are. |
+
+## Rich Text Format (`.rtf`)
+
+**Kept:** body text and styling that maps to the model; lists from list tables; tables; fields (result text; hyperlink fields become links); pictures in supported `\pict` formats as assets; footnotes/endnotes destinations that are not suppressed.
+
+**Excluded by fixed policy / destination rules:** page headers and footers (`\header`, `\footer`, and first/left/right variants); annotations; embedded `\object` / `\objdata`; font/color/style/info tables as document content; several binary and metadata destinations. Unsupported picture formats are skipped with a log.
+
+## EPUB (`.epub`)
+
+Chapters follow the spine; each chapter body is walked with the shared HTML converter and chapter CSS (`display: none`, basic emphasis properties).
+
+| Feature | Notes |
+| --- | --- |
+| Script / style / head / template / noscript | Not emitted as content. |
+| Images | Package images become assets (alt text in Markdown); remote `src` URLs become Markdown images when retained as external. |
+| SVG, audio, video, canvas, iframe | No dedicated extractors; they do not become first-class media blocks. |
+| Navigation documents (NAV / NCX) | Not used as a separate outline source on current `main` (spine XHTML is the content). |
+| DRM-encrypted publications | Fail as encrypted / unreadable packages. |
+
+Unusable spine chapters are skipped with a log when others remain readable.
+
+## CSV (`.csv`)
+
+Delimiter-separated values into a single table. Encoding from BOM, then UTF-8, then Windows-1252. Delimiter sniffed among common candidates. Header row inferred from column shape when the format does not declare one.
+
+No types beyond text, no formulas, and no separate "sheet" concept. Signature-less: name the format (or use a `.csv` path) when detection cannot work.
+
+## PDF (`.pdf`)
+
+PDF does **not** use the shared document model.
+
+| Area | Behavior |
+| --- | --- |
+| `to_markdown` / `to_markdown_bytes` | Text extraction through [pdf-inspector](https://github.com/firecrawl/pdf-inspector), which emits Markdown directly. |
+| `to_document` | Unsupported. Error directs callers to the Markdown APIs. Tracking: [#62](https://github.com/firecrawl/anydoc/issues/62). |
+| Scanned / image-only PDFs | No OCR in this crate; conversion errors as `Unsupported` when there is no extractable text. Hosted [Firecrawl Parse](https://firecrawl.dev/parse) covers OCR for those cases. |
+| Mixed PDFs | Pages flagged as needing OCR are omitted (warned in logs); remaining extractable text is still returned when non-empty. |
+| Embedded images / assets | Not available on a document model (there is no PDF `Document`). Open work explores returning image files alongside Markdown; that is not the default API on current `main`. |
+| Per-page API | Not exposed; output is one Markdown blob. See [#62](https://github.com/firecrawl/anydoc/issues/62). |
