MarkdownPage
A visual guide to the MarkdownPage schema used for document extraction and processing.
The MarkdownDocument
schema is the cornerstone of VLM Run’s document processing system, providing a standardized, machine-readable representation of complex documents. This technical reference guide details the schema’s architecture, components, and implementation patterns.
MarkdownDocument
Data Model
The MarkdownDocument
schema addresses the fundamental challenges in document processing:
- Structural Preservation: Maintains document hierarchy and relationships
- Content Extraction: Handles mixed content types (text, tables, figures, code)
- Spatial Understanding: Preserves layout and positioning information
- Data Integrity: Ensures accurate representation of structured elements
- Extensibility: Supports custom annotations and metadata

Charts and figures are represented with a <Chart id="ch-{id}"/>
tag in the content. The chart details are stored in the figures
list, including properties like:
