docs: description of supported formats and backends (#788)

* chore: remove type-ignore marks for attaching text to non GroupItems

After commit b74208 of docling-core, text items can be attached to any NodeItem
and therefore the ignore[arg-type] type marks can be removed.

To see all available options (export formats etc.) run `docling --help`. More details in the [CLI reference page](./reference/cli.md).
### Supported formats
The document conversion in Docling supports several popular formats, including:
- **PDF** (Portable Document Format): the format developed by Adobe to present documents compatible across application software, hardware, and operating systems.
- **.docx**, **.xlsx**, **.pptx** (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint): the Open XML formats suppored by Microsof Office.
- **Markdown**: a lightweight markup language to add formatting elements to plain text documents.
- **AsciiDoc**: a plain text markup language for writing technical content.
- **HTML** (Hypertext Markup Language): the standard markup language for creating web pages.
- **XHTML** (Extensible Hypertext Markup Language): the XML-based version of HTML.
- **XML** (Extensible Markup Language): a markup format for storing and transmitting data. Due to its flexibility, Docling requires custom implementations to identify the
semantics of the data. Currently, Docling supports the parsing of [USPTO](https://www.uspto.gov/patents) patents and [PubMed Central® (PMC)](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) articles.
### Advanced options
#### Adjust pipeline features
@ -126,6 +140,32 @@ result = converter.convert(source)
You can limit the CPU threads used by Docling by setting the environment variable `OMP_NUM_THREADS` accordingly. The default setting is using 4 CPU threads.
#### Use specific backend converters
By default, Docling will try to identify the document format to apply the appropriate conversion backend (see the list of [supported formats](#supported-formats)).
You can restrict the `DocumentConverter` to a set of allowed document formats, as shown in the [Multi-format conversion](./examples/run_with_formats.py) example.
Alternatively, you can also use the specific backend that matches your document content. For instance, you can use `HTMLDocumentBackend` for HTML pages:
```python
import urllib.request
from io import BytesIO
from docling.backend.html_backend import HTMLDocumentBackend
from docling.datamodel.base_models import InputFormat
from docling.datamodel.document import InputDocument
url = "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck"
text = urllib.request.urlopen(url).read()
in_doc = InputDocument(
path_or_stream=BytesIO(text),
format=InputFormat.HTML,
backend=HTMLDocumentBackend,
filename="duck.html",
)
backend = HTMLDocumentBackend(in_doc=in_doc, path_or_stream=BytesIO(text))
result = backend.convert()
print(result.export_to_markdown())
```
## Chunking
You can chunk a Docling document using a [chunker](concepts/chunking.md), such as a
