Show HN: Better Docx Import and Export Support for Tiptap Editor

Hey HN, Philip here, Co-founder at Tiptap (https://tiptap.dev/).

We just shipped an upgrade to our DOCX import and export capabilities, including new extensions, new endpoints, better formatting handling, and custom node support. This may be for you if your product deals with Microsoft Word files in any way.

We rebuilt our DOCX handling pipeline to give developers more control and flexibility:

- Import endpoint: Converts .docx to Tiptap JSON, accurately handles complex formatting (lists, tables, inline styles).

- Export extension: Generates .docx from your editor content, including custom nodes.

- Custom node support: Map internal components (e.g. callouts, embeds) to standard DOCX structures.

- Style control: Define exactly how DOCX output should look to match your app’s UI.

- Frontend or backend: Run conversion wherever it makes sense for your setup.

- Image upload handling: We give you hooks to manage storage your way.

What's still on the roadmap:

1) Import and export of DOCX headers and footers

2) Import and export DOCX pagination

3) Import and export comments, version history, and suggestions
