What it does

Python-hwpx allows you to automate reading, editing, generating, and validating HWPX documents without needing Hancom Office

When to use it

•Automating tasks involving Korean document formats
•Integrating HWPX document processing into a larger Python application
•Migrating or converting legacy HWPX documents to other formats

Ready-to-paste prompt

doc = hwpx.Document('example.hwp'); doc.add_paragraph('This is a new paragraph.'); doc.save('modified_example.hwp')

Heads up: Ensure you have the necessary dependencies installed, including `lxml` and `Pillow`, as python-hwpx relies on these libraries for XML parsing and image processing
