tokenmoulds 3.6.3

Generate branded Office templates from design tokens

TokenMoulds

A corporate template system for Microsoft Office and LibreOffice. Point it at a brand, get publication-quality Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and LibreOffice templates — with embedded fonts, baseline grids, OOXML compliance validation, and long-form document support for whitepapers, annual reports, manuals, and bound books.

Install

pip install tokenmoulds

Quick Start

Generate templates from brand inputs:

tokenmoulds --org-id="acme" \
  --font-pair="inter-roboto" \
  --primary-color="#2563EB" \
  --secondary-color="#DC2626" \
  --locale="GB" \
  --brand-tone=0.3 \
  --generate-templates --generate-odf

Or from a DTCG token file:

tokenmoulds --org-id="acme" \
  --tokens-file="design.tokens.json" \
  --generate-templates

What It Does

~30 brand inputs (colors, fonts, tone) produce 4,576 derived design tokens across 11 output formats. Every template ships with:

• WCAG AAA accessible contrast ratios
• Embedded fonts with ODTTF obfuscation (Word) and EOT with GSUB (PowerPoint)
• OpenType typography: contextual figures, size-dependent tracking, ligatures
• Baseline grid-snapped typography via modular type scales
• ISO 29500 (OOXML) and ODF schema compliance
• Zero macros — all styling baked into document structure

Long-Form Documents

Corporate whitepapers, annual reports, manuals, and bound books need more than a single page layout. They need sections — front matter with roman-numeral page numbers, a body with running chapter titles and decimal numbering, an appendix that continues the count. Each section with its own headers, footers, and page geometry.

TokenMoulds generates long-form structure from a small token vocabulary and emits it consistently across both Word (.dotx) and LibreOffice Writer (.ott) from one shared IR. Features:

• Per-section page geometry — A4, A5, B5, Letter, portrait or landscape, margins as formulas against the baseline grid
• Mirror margins — inner/outer semantics for bound documents, facing pages automatically flip
• Running headers — STYLEREF:Heading1 fields that update as the reader moves through chapters (Word) / <text:chapter> fields (Writer)
• Per-section page numbering — lowerRoman for front matter, decimal restart for the body, continuing counts for appendices
• Odd/even headers — book-style layouts with different left-hand and right-hand page content
• First-page different — cover pages, chapter openers
• Multi-column sections — indexes, newsletters
• Cross-format parity — one IR → structurally identical .dotx and .ott, locked down by a golden master test suite

See Long-Form Documents guide for a walkthrough with a three-section whitepaper example.

Python API

from tokenmoulds.pipeline import BuildConfig, build

result = build(BuildConfig(
    org_id="acme",
    output_formats=["potx", "dotx", "xltx"],
    brand_inputs={
        "font_pair": {"sans": "Inter", "serif": "Roboto Slab"},
        "base_colors": {"primary": "#2563EB", "secondary": "#DC2626"},
        "locale": "US",
        "brand_tone": 0.5,
    },
))

for fmt, data in result.artifacts.items():
    open(f"acme.{fmt}", "wb").write(data)

Architecture

TokenMoulds uses a single canonical build pipeline:

Design Tokens → DesignResolutionEngine → DocumentIR → Emitters → Validated Packages

• DTCG pipeline: W3C Design Tokens Community Group format with 5-layer resolution (core/fork/org/group/personal)
• Design engine: Modular type scale, baseline grid, OpenType features, tone/density adaptation
• Document IR: Format-agnostic intermediate representation
• 11 emitters: Each produces a complete, valid package
• Validation: In-process ISO 29500 schema checking via openxml-audit

See ADR 027 for the full convergence story.
