Check pull request comments and evaluate pulls #13
Reviewed in the 2.0.0 feature pass (August 2026) and left open deliberately: this is a standing research task rather than a unit of implementable work, so there is nothing here to close.
Several of the features these threads point at have since landed on main independently — tracked changes (#74), fields and TOC (#80), list numbering (#73), cross-run search and replace (#76), floating images (#85), watermarks (#86) and style copying (#87). Worth re-reading this list against HISTORY.rst before spending time on it, since the overlap is now substantial.
Worked through this: all 133 open pull requests against python-openxml/python-docx, not just the two linked above, each checked against main rather than against its own description.
The overlap with #11 is large — many of these PRs are the upstream-facing half of the forks surveyed there, by the same authors. Everything genuinely new is now filed.
Two of those are bugs rather than gaps, both reproduced against main:
w:shd is modelled wrongly: required w:val missing, optional w:fill required #103 — CT_Shd declares w:fill required and does not model w:val at all. The schema (ref/xsd/wml.xsd:467) says the opposite. So font.shading_fill = "FF0000" writes <w:shd w:fill="FF0000"/> with the required w:val missing, and reading a legal <w:shd w:val="pct25" w:color="FF0000"/> raises InvalidXmlError. Every non-solid Word shading preset is in the second category.
Style lookup fails on documents that store the UI-cased built-in style name #110 — a document whose styles.xml stores <w:name w:val="Heading 1"/> instead of the internal "heading 1" cannot have a heading added to it: add_heading() raises KeyError and "Heading 1" in document.styles is False, with the style sitting right there. Word is case-insensitive here, which is why such documents exist.
pfernique feature/add_svg_picture (upstream Some hack to include SVG python-openxml/python-docx#798, "Some hack to include SVG") — already covered. SVG landed in 2.0.0 with a PNG fallback and MIME_TYPE.SVG handling in StoryPart.get_or_add_image.
Also verified fixed independently, so no issue filed: python-openxml#1566 (non-image parts in the sha1 match — package.py:47 skips them), python-openxml#1526 (CT_Tc.bottom on a merge whose origin omits w:vMerge), python-openxml#863 (w:sectPr inside w:sectPrChange is excluded by the anchored xpath at oxml/document.py:45), python-openxml#1024 (next_id takes the max over all @id), python-openxml#1505 (image dpi defaults to 72).
