docx are mostly markup language, actually. Much like SVGs and PDFs.

No. The Office ???x files are archives. Inside them you can find folders with resources. Among those, you can find files written in markup languages.

Not quite the same thing.

Just rename your .docx file as .zip to check its contents.

Ah, last time I checked it was a kind of ML directly (XML, I'm guessing from cymor@midwest.social their comment), but that's back in Office 2016's time, so things might have changed.

Thanks for the heads-up!
