Oh shit. I’d try pandoc md to docx conversion. No idea if it works for your case

Unfortunately not because the word document is meant to be the “master” document. We aren’t even supposed to export PDF versions because in the future people may see the PDF in the folder and use that as a reference instead of the main word document even though the word doc was updated and the PDF wasn’t. Also I tried pandoc md conversion to docx in the past for another document and it didn’t go very well. The formatting of the headers was all over the place which made it impossible to generate the Table of Contents in word

Ok, sounds not so good. What about only using the converson for the snippets?

I guess that might work. I’ll have to try it on monday though it’s probably more effort this way compared to just doing it manually since the snippets I have to add currently are mostly single functions with less than 20 lines
