Description

When MarkItDown handles Excel documents, it processes all worksheets by default. Is it possible to specify a subset of worksheets to read, for instance, Sheet1, Sheet2, and Sheet3?

Research direction

Start by locating MarkItDown’s Excel worksheet processing entry point and checking how .xlsx files are converted. Trace where all worksheets are selected, then verify selection of a named subset such as Sheet1, Sheet2, and Sheet3. Done means the requested subset is processed while existing all-worksheet behavior remains intact.
