Convert Markdown file to PDF using themes extracted directly from Word templates

mark-my-word

Convert Markdown files to styled PDFs — and extract themes directly from Word templates.

What it does

mark-my-word renders Markdown to PDF using CSS Paged Media via WeasyPrint. Styling lives in a theme directory containing a stylesheet and HTML fragments for headers and footers. The companion extract subcommand pulls a theme straight out of a .docx or .dotx file, so your PDFs can match an existing Word template without manual CSS work.

Quick start

# Install with uv or pipx
uv tool install mark-my-word
pipx install mark-my-word

# Extract a theme from a Word template
mark-my-word extract my-template.dotx --output themes/my-theme/

# Render a Markdown file using that theme
mark-my-word render document.md --theme themes/my-theme/ --output document.pdf

How it works

• mark-my-word render converts Markdown to HTML, merges it with the theme's header/footer fragments, and renders to PDF via WeasyPrint
• mark-my-word extract reads a Word document's theme colours, fonts, heading styles, page margins, header/footer content, and watermark, then writes a ready-to-use theme directory
• Themes are plain directories — a style.css plus optional HTML fragment files and a watermark.png
