Pandoc Docx

Prerequisites

Ensure Pandoc is installed:

pandoc --version
# If not installed: brew install pandoc (macOS) or apt-get install pandoc (Linux)

Directory Setup

Create working directories in your project root:

mkdir -p import export

• import/ – Source files to convert
• export/ – Converted output files

Convert to DOCX

Basic conversion:

pandoc import/input.md -o export/output.docx

Common options:

• --reference-doc=template.docx – Apply custom styling
• --toc – Generate table of contents
• --toc-depth=2 – Set TOC depth
• --metadata="title=My Document" – Set document metadata

Use skill’s Chinese template:

# Path depends on where skill is installed:
# - Project local: .agents/skills/pandoc-docx/ (or your skill installation path)
# - Global: ~/.config/skills/pandoc-docx/ (varies by OS and tool)

pandoc import/input.md -o export/output.docx \
  --reference-doc=<skill-path>/assets/templates.docx

Convert from DOCX

pandoc import/document.docx -o export/document.md --extract-media=export/images/

Custom Templates

1. Generate default template: pandoc --print-default-data-file reference.docx > reference.docx
2. Edit styles in Word
3. Apply: pandoc import/input.md -o export/output.docx --reference-doc=reference.docx

Batch Processing

SKILL_PATH="<skill-path>"  # Adjust to your skill installation path

for file in import/*.md; do
  pandoc "$file" -o "export/$(basename "${file%.md}").docx" \
    --reference-doc=$SKILL_PATH/assets/templates.docx
done

• assets/templates.docx – Chinese DOCX template with title numbering and code highlighting
• scripts/convert.sh – Helper script for conversions (see usage below)

Using convert.sh

# Run from project root. Adjust <skill-path> to where skill is installed:
<skill-path>/scripts/convert.sh report.md report.docx

# With options
<skill-path>/scripts/convert.sh report.md report.docx --toc

# Absolute paths work as usual
<skill-path>/scripts/convert.sh /path/to/input.md /path/to/output.docx
