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 don’t know anything about Typst, but I do know that .docx files are really just a zip file containing a folder structure with a bunch of xml (and a few other) files. I’ve written a few find/replace docx scripts in bash utilizing this information.
