Description
Markdown doesn't natively support any alignment attributions, but there are some approaches that use "span" tags with style attributes or other annotations I've seen in other tools.
Are there any approaches for Markitdown to bring across text alignments?

Research direction
The issue names DOCX conversion in MarkItDown but does not identify a file, test, or entry point. Start by locating the DOCX conversion path and reviewing how alignment is represented in the Markdown output. Done requires an agreed approach for preserving text alignment and corresponding coverage, but the issue does not define either.
