I am trying to convert a docx file to a xml file using the python library python-docx. Working with paragraphs works so far, but i fail to work with runs.

I´m new to this and clearly missing something.

Imagine this docx:

Generic title

A paragraph with bold and italic text.

I get:

<document>
  <title>Generic title</title>
  <p>A paragraph with bold and italic text.</p>
</document>

What i want:

<document>
  <title>Generic title</title>
  <p>A paragraph with <b>bold</b> and <i>italic</> text.</p>
</document>

Could someone provide help? Highly appreciated.
