This is pretty interesting! Did you implement the DOCX support and rich-text editor from scratch? I’d be concerned about interoperability with other editors — a semi-compatible editor losing content/comments added by other software could be a huge problem.
Yes! From scratch. It started with a docx library but had to be re-implemented from the beginning because that library dropped data that wasn't implemented. Tritium's docx implementation is more permissive such that it can gracefully failover to just pure XML if it can't parse an element via the AST.
