Inspect a document

To parse and inspect a document, use the inspect method:

var doc = c.inspect("path/to/document.docx");

The returned doc is a document-object-model of a sorts of the document in question. You can use it to retrieve all paragraphs, tables, lists, etc. in the document.

Each node in the inspect() output has a type property that indicates the type of node. The following types are supported:

• document: the root node of the document
• paragraph: a paragraph
• table: a table
• list: a list
• listitem: an item in a list
• text: a text node

In addition you can invoke the toHtml() method on each node to get a simplified HTML representation of the node.
