Document Parse
Structured parsing of complex documents into JSON and LLM-ready markdown with two local engines - LiteParse `lit` for PDFs and images (layout blocks, markdown, built-in OCR) and AILANG Parse `docparse` for office, email and e-book formats plus AI parsing of charts and images. Use when the user needs headings, tables, reading order or layout blocks out of a PDF, wants to read or parse a DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, ODT, EPUB, EML or MBOX file, needs track changes, comments or speaker notes, wants a chart, diagram, photo or handwritten page interpreted, or wants a file converted between formats ("turn this markdown into a DOCX"). Do NOT use for a quick plain-text read of a text-layer PDF - use pdf-extract; for making a scanned PDF searchable or bulk OCR - use ocr; for filling forms, merging, splitting or table export to CSV/Excel - use pdf-processing-pro; for authoring Word, Excel or PowerPoint files from scratch - use the document-skills plugin.
