XML files not supported

[christian-johnson]

I'd like to reopen an issue that I commented on (#281) that was subsequently closed. Perhaps I'm missing something basic, but XML files do not seem to work with this library out of the box. My comment from the other thread is copied here:

I am encountering an issue with XML files:

markitdown._markitdown.UnsupportedFormatException: Could not convert 'file.xml' to Markdown. The formats ['.xml', '.xml', '.docbook', '.qtl', '.rng'] are not supported.

OS: MacOS 15.1
markitdown version: 0.0.1a3
python version: 3.13.1

I installed via:

uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate
uv pip install markitdown

And then ran:

markitdown file.xml > document.md

Yielding the error above. The same error appears when using the Python API directly as suggested in the README.
