So AI was in use. Then the author says that following the spec alone wasn't enough to get it working, they got "active community feedback" and fed that feedback into the AI until it worked just like Word. I have to think that if there were ANY conditions under which a model might output code that Microsoft legal would threaten to sue you for, these would be them
If anything it’s DOCX itself that was the vector!
I would guess that they have lost access to a resource lately ... I've read there's a lot of that going around atm.
Edit (since I can’t seem to reply directly) - to the commenter suggesting LibreOffice below: quite different things. This was a library for implementing reasonably high fidelity docx viewing / editing in the browser.
How long do you have?
I thought of it because this project said they used AI
I found docx to be a very well documented format and a surprisingly good fit for this.
