Description
Hey,
I tried to convert docx with images file to md, but It does not do captioning:
from markitdown import MarkItDown
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(base_url="http://localhost:8000/v1", api_key="dummy") # my local VLLM host
md = MarkItDown(llm_client=client, llm_model="microsoft/Phi-3.5-vision-instruct")
result = md.convert("file.docx")
print(result.text_content)
# ....  ....
What did I do wrong?
Thank you in advance for your reply!

Research direction
No repository file or test is named. Start by reproducing the example through MarkItDown.convert("file.docx") with the shown local OpenAI-compatible client, then trace the DOCX conversion behavior. Done would mean that images produce caption text rather than only a data URI, with the expected behavior covered by a test.
