Research direction
The issue asks to add a backend for converting BoxNote files to DoclingDocument. Start by studying the existing backends in the docling codebase to understand the pattern. The referenced code at https://github.com/alexwennerberg/boxnotes2html/blob/main/boxnotes2html/boxnote.py provides a parser for the BoxNote format. The task is to implement a similar converter that outputs DoclingDocument. Since there are no comments or maintainer guidance, it may be necessary to ask for clarification on expected output and integration points.
