Markdown to Word Converter¶

This skill converts a Markdown (.md) file to a Word (.docx) document using the industry-standard Pandoc tool.

Prerequisites¶

Pandoc must be installed on the system.
To check if it is installed, run pandoc --version.
If Pandoc is NOT installed, install it using winget:
```
winget install --id JohnMacFarlane.Pandoc -e --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements
```
(Note: You may need to run this command, wait for it to complete, and if pandoc is still not on PATH in your current shell, you can invoke it by closing/opening a new shell or running refreshenv / specifying the install path).

Determine the absolute path of the input .md file.
Determine the desired absolute path for the output .docx file (if the user didn't specify, default to the same directory and base name with a .docx extension).

Run the Pandoc command to convert the file:

pandoc "C:\absolute\path\to\input.md" -o "C:\absolute\path\to\output.docx"

If the user requests a specific style, you can use a reference docx file:

pandoc "input.md" -o "output.docx" --reference-doc="template.docx"
