When converting a docx document, inexplicable blank images appear, and a line of text disappears.

Steps to reproduce

  1. download the zip from https://www.3gpp.org/ftp/tsg_ran/WG1_RL1/TSGR1_124b/Docs/R1-2601816.zip , unzip this zip file and then you can get

    a file named R1-2601793.docx.
  2. use docling to convert the docx to markdown file
            cmd = [
                "docling",
                "--from", "docx",
                "--to", "md",
                "--output", os.path.dirname(md_path),
                doc_path
            ]

            print(f"run command: {' '.join(cmd)}")
            result = subprocess.run(
                cmd,
                capture_output=True,
                text=True,
                check=True
            )
  1. I get the markdown, I have obtained the markdown file and carefully compared the contents of the docx file and the markdown file (I use typora to read markdown file).
  2. I found the error. The details are as follows:
