decision-letter-parser

Parse docx file containing decision letter and author response content and produce output in other formats.

The contents of the .docx must follow a specific formatting scheme for it to be separated out into multiple JATS XML <sub-article> tags, and for figure and table data to be recognised.

Requirements

Parsing .docx files requires pandoc, and there are two options to make it available.

1. Install pandoc so it can be executed locally, or
2. Install docker and pandoc can be called using the docker_image specified in the letterparser.cfg configuration file

Example usage

This library is meant to be integrated into another operational system, however the following are examples using interactive Python:

Example 1 - Convert a test fixture zip containing a .docx and asset files

>>> from letterparser import generate
>>> jats_xml = generate.generate_xml_from_file("tests/test_data/elife-00666.zip")

Example 2 - Convert just a .docx file only

>>> from letterparser import generate
>>> jats_xml = generate.generate_xml_from_file("tests/test_data/elife-68041.docx")
