@_thegeoff again, I'm not shure about their toolchain used to layout...

Some mishaps like that may happen when people use #DOCX and import it into #QuarkExpress or a #CMS for the articles.

Very interesting read on what happens if you try to coexist with a big tech capitalist player in your ecosystem.

I made a little update to my method for converting #Orgmode files to #DOCX with #Pandoc. Now supporting citations! Here are the deets: https://arnesonium.com/2023/06/org-to-docx-with-citations

@mvsde you mean "be thankful it's not a shitty #OOXML #DOCX" because German Govt IT sucks ass!

Burn #Microsoft's Office! 🔥 Their proprietary #docx format is the worst for the productivity of people using #OpenStandards. :fsf:

I'm trying to incorporate the #corrections of a #proofreading service with @libreoffice, but opening their .docx file uses all the CPU time 📈 for no traceable reason.

Bad enough that they don't accept any other file type 🙄 and I have to adopt corrections manually, now their document steals all my computing resources.

This looks promising

could this replace pandoc?

My current workflow is sublime -> pandoc, or obsidian -> pandoc (if it is part of my projects

Obviously the need for sublime -> pandoc -> powerpoint remains

Ask a #Windows user for plain text and you'll get a #docx file.
Ask a #Mac user for plain text and you'll get a #Pages file.
Ask a #Linux user for plain text and you'll get plain text.

Microsoft Exploit "Follina" by HackerHood

Con la #Patch Tuesday di giugno 2022, #Microsoft ha fixato un bug identificativo con il codice #CVE-2022-30190 che permetteva di eseguire del codice #powershell aprendo un semplice file #docx abusando del protocollo #ms-msdt.

Inoltre è stato possibile anche sfruttare le particolarità dei file #rtf per trasformare il file in un #exploit #0-click, attivando la vulnerabilità solo selezionando il file rtf ricevuto.

Successivamente tale bug è stato utilizzato da diverse cybergang come punto vettore iniziale di compromissione, vista la sua larga diffusione.

The pagebreak #LuaFilter adds support for manual page-break markers in the text with the raw #TeXLaTeX `\newpage` command. "Translated" by the filter, this marker works with #HTML/#EPUB, #Asciidoc, Word #docx, #groff ms, and #ConTeXt output.
The code has been reworked and is now available from https://github.com/pandoc-ext/pagebreak

Fidus Writer 3.11.11 is not a major release, but it brings one of the most requested features is finally here: the ability to export comments (and their responses) to DOCX and ODT files! 🎉

Comments are exported directly to ODT files, and also in most cases also to DOCX files. However, the DOCX format doesn't allow comments on text inside of footnotes. So those comments have been moved to the footnote reference. 👀

I'd try #LibreOffice that can import #OOXML #docx (and old binary #doc) and export to #PDF. Even on #Mac :mastocheeky:

První kolo zápasu s "runami" ve Word .docx formátu pomocí "import docx" v Pythonu jsem zřejmě vyhrál - mám asi 60řádkový skript, který správně expanduje makra v dokumentu beze ztráty formátování (když nepočítám, že wordy uložené z Office365 se v LibreOffice zobrazí divně hned od začátku, ještě než na ně sáhnu).

Ale že bych si troufal na iteraci přes makra expandující na seznam hodnot... to asi fakt ne.. 🙈 #python #docx

Reference docs allow to adjust the style of #docx and #odt files. Generate a reference doc with

pandoc -o refdoc.docx --print-default-data-file reference.docx

Open the refdoc.docx document and modify the styles in there to your liking. Then pass the modified document to let pandoc use the new styles:

pandoc --reference-doc=refdoc.docx ...

#pandoc #referenceDoc

Received unsolicited mail with #docx file with sha256 e48f65db2baafce420d89d79db788f1d70aeae1219bc8504183b918619f7ce32 . One positive hit on #Virustotal.

Render references from a #BibLaTeX file as Word #docx:

Extract all images embedded in a docx or epub file into a `media` folder with

/me bataille avec des documents bureautique (que suis-je allé faire dans cette #galère !)

#Microsoft : Ils implémentent leur format #DOCX dont la spéc. fait 5 018 pages, et ne sont pas capables (avec toutes les ressources dont ils disposent) d'importer raisonnablement un document dans un format #ODT dont la spec. fait 768 pages (les deux étant des formats ISO !)…
