Convert documents to markdown format
This blueprint guides you to convert various unstructured documents (PDFs, DOCX, HTML, etc.) to Markdown format using the Docling command-line interface, with special attention to OCR capabilities and image handling options. Great for building text datasets or for downstream NLP tasks, this setup gives you a consistent, open format to work with across different document types. This Blueprint includes quick-start instructions to help you get started quickly on your own data and requires basic Python experience. Made in collaboration with EleutherAI.
