I think the title is pretty much self explanatory. The following piece of code omits the numbering in cases where the paragraph is of type "ListParagraph":



import docx
doc = docx.Document('test.docx')
for para in doc.paragraphs:
print(para.text)


To infer the numbering, what I understand is that one has to go to the document.xml and cross-correlate that with numbering.xml. So, using python-docx we can say that



numId_val = para._element.pPr.numPr.numId.val


gives you access to the numbering style id. Then the call



para._element.pPr.numPr.ilvl.val


gives you access to the numbering level, counting from 0.



Then one can in principle construct a recursive algorithm to infer the numbering, based on the sequence of numId_vals and ilvls.



I found however that this will not work in extracting the correct numbering if the author has customised her list to start with, e.g., a decimal number which is not simply the following integer.



Is there a correct and more robust solution?



Thanks so much for your help - this has busted my brain for a while now.
