Pardon me but is there any way that openxml can be converted to a format similar to https://www.gnu.org/software/recutils/

If openxml can be converted to csv/similar perhaps which can be converted to recutils

Recutils supports both mdb (Microsoft Access database files)/csv files to/from recutils

I saw this project on a recent hackernews comment and I had seen some comments there about how it does / can work decently with git features iirc (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46265811)

I am interested to hear what your thoughts on recutils are and if perhaps we can have microsoft word/similar to git+recutils like workflow maybe

I thought about it and a tar/zipped git folder which can contain images/other content too which can be referenced with recutils instead of openxml/word document to me does feel an interesting idea

I am not sure but I think that openxml directly embeds data like pictures which can defnitely make it hard for git software to work perhaps but basically I am interested what you think about this/any feedback
