Hello,

I guess this is the perfect trifecta for me. I am completely new to Python, completely new to the Calibre API, and this is my first post, so please be gentle :-)

After using Calibre, I found the conversion from DOCX to XHTML to be one of the best solutions out there. I would like to dig into this code a bit to see how exactly it works and perhaps even make some suggested improvements (specifically, I am looking at how lists are managed).

Being so new to the code base, I am not sure where to start. All the references I could find to the DOCX conversion seem to be configuration files for the plugin, not the actual conversion code.

Could someone point me to where the actual conversion from DOCX to XHTML lives? Also, it would be helpful to know if an external library is used to support this.

Thanks!
