Rather than attempting to replicate visual styling, it interprets document structure\u2014converting a paragraph styled as \"Heading 1\" to an h1 element, for example\u2014and ignores formatting details like fonts and colors. This approach works well for documents that use styles semantically but may lose fidelity on complex layouts.\n\nThe package supports headings, lists, tables, footnotes, images, text formatting (bold, italic, strikethrough, superscript, subscript), links, comments, and custom style mappings. It can be used as a CLI tool or imported as a library. A critical caveat: Mammoth performs no sanitization of source documents, so it must be used carefully with untrusted input. The library also includes text extraction and experimental Markdown output (deprecated in favor of generating HTML first).","worth_installing":"Yes. Mammoth is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries a permissive license, and solves a well-defined problem\u2014converting .docx to clean HTML using semantic information. It is suitable for most document conversion workflows, but avoid it for untrusted input without additional sanitization and be aware that complex document layouts may not convert perfectly."},"id":"mammoth","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mammoth","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mammoth.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/mammoth/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-09","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"mammoth","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Convert Word documents from docx to simple and clean HTML and Markdown"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":16076406,"position":1163,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.12.1"}
