Description

Hi team,
Does markitdown currently support rendering or processing of coordinate-based JSON (e.g., for highlighting or bounding boxes in documents)?

If not, is this something that could be considered for future support?

Thanks!

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. First clarify whether coordinate-based JSON should be rendered, processed, or used for highlighting and bounding boxes, then inspect the document-conversion paths and tests for the relevant input format. Done means the expected coordinate data behavior is defined and supported consistently.
