This PR fixes the issue with `docx` with
complex/recursive/merged/malformed tables by skipping cells that could
not trace back to a valid `<w:tc>` element used by the `python-docx` due
to missing or improperly merged rows.
Accessing row.cells in such cases can raise a `ValueError` when
`python-docx` fails to resolve the full logical table layout. This PR
wraps those calls in `try/except` to skip problematic rows while
continuing to extract usable content from the rest of the document.
The sample docs directory contains the following files:
example-10k.html - A 10-K SEC filing in HTML format
layout-parser-paper.pdf - A PDF copy of the layout parser paper
factbook.xml/factbook.xsl - Example XML/XLS files that you can use to test stylesheets
These documents can be used to test out the parsers in the library. In addition, here are
instructions for pulling in some sample docs that are too big to store in the repo.
XBRL 10-K
You can get an example 10-K in inline XBRL format using the following curl. Note, you need
to have the user agent set in the header or the SEC site will reject your request.
