This looks really impressive. How hard was it to implement this in typescript?

Thanks! The hard here part is not typescript implementation but it's catching Word undocumented quirks.

The OOXML spec gets you far but doesn't cover 100% of how Word renders things. Community feedback has helped a lot here, users attach docs (in gh issues) that break rendering, we can reproduce against Word, fix the engine, and keep tightening fidelity.
