Features
The converter:
Extracts YAML front matter — uses title , date , version , audience for the title page
Generates a title page — with project name, subtitle, date, version, and audience
Generates a table of contents — built from H1 H3 headings
Embeds PNG images — resolves  references relative to the input .md file, reads the PNG, and embeds it inline in the Word document
Styled output — Calibri font, colored headings ( 1F3864 ), styled tables with alternating row colors, code blocks in Consolas
Handles all Markdown elements — headings, paragraphs, tables, code blocks, lists, images, links, horizontal rules
Image Embedding
The converter automatically embeds PNG images referenced in the Markdown:
The image path is resolved relative to the input Markdown file . The PNG is read, dimensions are extracted from the PNG header, and the image is scaled to fit within 6 inches width while preserving aspect ratio.
If an image file is not found, a placeholder [Image not found: <path ] is inserted.
Front Matter Format
The title is split on — or – into main title and subtitle for the title page.
