Fixes #53
Summary
Adds an opt-in XlsxConfig object to preserve Excel cell number formatting (currency, percentage, thousands separators, dates) when converting .xlsx files to Markdown.
Motivation
pd.read_excel only reads raw cell values, so formatted values like $1,199.00 are emitted as 1199. This PR makes formatting preservation available without breaking existing consumers that parse numeric values from the output.
Changes
Usage
python
from markitdown import MarkItDown, XlsxConfig
md = MarkItDown(xlsx_config=XlsxConfig(preserve_formatting=True))
result = md.convert("invoice.xlsx")
Backward compatibility
Default behavior is unchanged (raw cell values), so existing code that does loat(cell_value) keeps working.
