# Docling
|
|
|
|
Kotaemon provides a [Docling](https://github.com/DS4SD/docling) reader to enable local document ingestion with structure-aware parsing, including text, tables, and figures.
|
|
The reader is located under `kotaemon/loaders/docling_loader`.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- Install Docling:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
uv pip install -e "libs/kotaemon[docling]"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Configure optional figure captioning:
|
|
|
|
Docling can generate figure captions when a VLM endpoint is available. Set `KH_VLM_ENDPOINT` in your `.env` file or application settings to enable captioning.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
KH_VLM_ENDPOINT=http://your-vlm-endpoint
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If `KH_VLM_ENDPOINT` is not set, Docling will still extract text, tables, and figure metadata, but it will skip generated figure captions.
|
|
|
|
## Configure the loader
|
|
|
|
1. Run Kotaemon and open the app UI.
|
|
2. Navigate to Settings → Retrieval Settings → File loader.
|
|
3. Select `Docling (figure+table extraction)`.
|
|
4. Save the settings, then upload or ingest a document. Kotaemon will use Docling during indexing and convert extracted content into `Document` objects.
