Trying to convert .XLSX into HTML

converter = DocumentConverter()

result = converter.convert("/path/to/xlsx")
doc = result.document

doc.save_as_html("path/to/html")

This does not work. No output, no processing display. what to do?

Docling supports .XLSX as an input and HTML as an output, but not all input/output combinations are guaranteed to work. If you see no output or processing display, it's likely the XLSX file isn't being parsed correctly or the conversion isn't supported for your file type. The HTML export only serializes the internal document—if the XLSX-to-document step fails or produces an empty document, the HTML will be empty too, and you won't see errors unless logging is enabled or exceptions are raised elsewhere in your code.

To troubleshoot: check that your XLSX file is valid and accessible, try converting a different XLSX file, and enable logging to see if any warnings or errors are being suppressed. If the resulting document is empty, the issue is likely with the XLSX import step, not the HTML export. For more details on supported formats and conversion flow, see this documentation and this discussion.

Hello @enx-github , could you please share the xlsx file that you are trying to convert? (if the license allows it).
Also, please share the version of Docling that you use (by running docling --version).
You may also want to share the output by running Docling with the debug logging option -vv in the CLI.

For some runs I feel that XLSX is not responsive, but later I kept on running, it will return result after 2 hours 30 mins. it's a huge XLSX.
