Limitations

What is implemented is verified in Word (see fidelity.md). Everything below is not supported yet; do not assume it works.

• Template scope. Templates set fonts, sizes, heading and text colors, link color and page margins in both the HTML preview and the DOCX. Table borders and shading, code block background and list indentation are fixed by gordon-doc-converter. Six templates exist: default, classic, compact, minutes, proposal, letter (see templates.md).
• Table of contents is a field. Word fills it when the file is opened or exported; LibreOffice previews show placeholder text.
• A4 portrait only. No landscape sections, custom page sizes, columns, or per-section headers and footers. One header and one footer for the whole document.
• Images must be local files; remote URLs are rejected. Image formats are whatever Pandoc and Word accept (PNG and JPEG are tested).
• Table cells hold inline text only: no nested lists, images, or merged cells in the schema.
• Footnotes are plain text.
• No comments, tracked changes, or cross-references.
• Pandoc and gordon-doc are external requirements. Container images without Pandoc are not supported for export.
• Fonts are not embedded; the machine opening the DOCX needs the fonts (CJK text uses an East Asian font, Microsoft JhengHei by default).
• Output is verified structurally, not pixel-for-pixel.
