Correctly reading enumeration and list numbers/letters

[renatodamas]

Similar to #1443, but when reading from a docx file. Other related issues: #1187, #1313, #1012, #1007, #987, #971, #677, #639, #614, #600, #590, #511, #554, #536, #471, #217, #180, #87, #25

Python-docx is not reading the enumeration of paragraph and other elements correctly.

I'm ready to get to work on it. I just need some technical guidance.

I would be grateful for any assistance.

Maybe related with this line:

python-docx/src/docx/parts/numbering.py

Line 15 in 0cf6d71

raise NotImplementedError

This is what chatgpt suggests (not tested):

from ..oxml import parse_xml, nsdecls
...

@classmethod
def new(cls):

    numbering_xml = parse_xml('<w:numbering {}></w:numbering>'.format(nsdecls('w')))
    return cls(numbering_xml)

Tested and working with this patch, or at least not giving me exception generating document:

@classmethod
    def new(cls):
        from docx.oxml import parse_xml
        from docx.oxml.ns import nsdecls
        xml_str = '<w:numbering {}></w:numbering>'.format(nsdecls('w'))
        numbering_xml = parse_xml(xml_str)
        content_type = 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.numbering+xml'
        partname = '/word/numbering.xml'

        return cls(partname, content_type, numbering_xml, None)
