Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When copying over work from a .docx document in a word editor, images and tables seem to break the html parsing when combined with text. When they are copied individually they work.

Side note: copy pasting screenshots copied to clipboard don't seem to work either.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would love to have images and table be recognized regardless of other HTML they are copied with.

The same is repeatable with images.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or parser entry point. Reproduce the documented Word copy/paste case with combined text, images, and tables, then trace the HTML paste path; done means those mixed contents are recognized without breaking, with clipboard screenshots addressed only if they share the same path.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
