What it does
- Generates polished Word documents with the
docxnpm library (TOC, headings, tables, images, page numbers). - Edits existing files by unzipping, patching
word/document.xml, and re-zipping with XSD validation. - Handles tracked changes (
<w:ins>/<w:del>) and multi-file comment plumbing via helper scripts. - Verifies output by converting to PDF and rendering page images for visual review.
Who it's for
- Anyone who must deliver professional Word files: reports, memos, letters, contracts.
- Legal/contract reviewers who need accurate redlines and comments.
- Developers building document generation pipelines.
Examples
- "Turn this markdown draft into a Word report with a table of contents and page numbers."
- "Redline clause 3 of the contract under my name and attach a comment explaining why."
- "Swap the logo image in this .docx and render the pages to confirm the tables still look right."
