Description
I have fed it a docx file with the mathematical equations inside it and when I converted it to the md format, equations was completely missing from md file, just the text was visible. pypandoc library however did the conversion perfectly, with all the equations visible. So, is it a bug in the markitdown library or is this feature missing?
If missing, then I would request the moderators to add this!
Original docx -:
With Markitdown -:
With pypandoc -:
Thanks for your consideration.

Research direction
Reproduce the report using the attached DOCX and the repository's DOCX conversion path, then inspect how mathematical equations are represented and handled during conversion. Compare the generated Markdown with the source and the pypandoc result. Done means equations are preserved in the Markdown output and a regression test covers the reported document or equivalent input.
