feat(documents): legacy .doc viewer (Word 97-2003) - #265
Merged
Conversation
Open old binary .doc files and extract their text in the browser: a minimal OLE2/CFB compound-file reader (cfb.lib.ts) reassembles the WordDocument + table streams, then doc.lib.ts walks the Word piece table (found by scanning the table stream, avoiding version-specific FIB offsets) and decodes CP1252/UTF-16LE pieces, with an fcMin fallback. Best-effort text only — labeled as such. Pure libs unit-tested. EN + ID SEO.

Adds the Legacy .doc Viewer to the Documents category (
/tools/doc-viewer) — the one item I'd previously deferred.cfb.lib.ts— a minimal OLE2/Compound-File reader that reassembles named streams from the FAT/mini-FAT sector chains.doc.lib.ts— walks the Word piece table (located by scanning the table stream, which avoids the fragile version-specific FIB field offset) and decodes each piece as CP1252 or UTF-16LE, with anfcMindirect-read fallback. Handles paragraph/cell marks and strips field/anchor control chars.Verify: 1328 tests green, lint 0 errors, build OK; both
/tools/doc-viewer/locales built and listed on the Documents hub.
