feature: BlockItemContainer.iter_block_items()

See original GitHub issue

I’d like to iterate over the elements of they document as they appear in it. For example if there is a paragraph a table and then a paragraph again, I want to get them in that order. AFAIK currently there are two properties on Document, paragraphs and tables but have no notion of ordering between them.

Ok got it working now! Changed it to:

if isinstance(parent, Document):
    parent_elm = parent.element.body

Hi @scanny

your iter_block_items() parse paragraph and table in docx file. I’m a beginner in python. Could you please update to parse all headings (Heading 1, Heading 2,…etc), paragraphs and tables.

Thank you.
