I want to compile a docx file into a Typst file, I believe deep down docx is XML, and Typst is close to markdown with interesting functionalities, is that feasible? Note that Typst does have syntax to define functions and call them and I want to create special functions during the code gen step, is ANTLR the right tool for the job? Are there better tools? I want to have as few bugs as possible

    I want to compile the docx INTO a typst file, not a separate parser for each

      Oh, ok, antlr would be inappropriate then. I’d check whether pandoc already does that conversion.

        I just checked, it does convert to Typst but I do want to write custom stuff alongside what pandoc will output, that seems like the right tool and saves me a lot of efforts, thanks
