I think you guys are missing the point. The point isn’t “how do we get from markdown to docx” but rather “why doesn’t this tool support the format my publisher expects”. Yes, pandoc is amazing, but the product needs to support exporting to docx for the publisher so that the user of NovelWriter feels supported and empowered to write.

TeaDrunk said it best: it’s now significantly more steps the user shouldn’t have to do.

This is the correct take. If it's so easy to do then there should be a button or menu option that does it.

That’s what I am saying. Integrate Pandoc into NovelWriter so that users can export directly to docx.

You and parent commenter seem to think that you are disagreeing with what I said but we are agreeing.
