What this guide covers
For writers who keep a manuscript as Markdown chapter files and want Word and e-book output from a short Python script. You end with a script based on the pypandoc README. It was not run, pandoc's own manual was not read, and the README does not say how matched chapter files are ordered.

Guide title
Build a DOCX and EPUB from Markdown chapters in Python with pypandoc
Coverage
For writers who keep a manuscript as Markdown chapter files and want Word and e-book output from a short Python script. You end with a script based on the pypandoc README. It was not run, pandoc's own manual was not read, and the README does not say how matched chapter files are ordered.
Example
A short script, not run, that converts files matching a chapters pattern into manuscript.docx and manuscript.epub and prints the pandoc version it found.
Useful starting points
- Number your chapter files and open the output to confirm the order; the README does not document how matched files are ordered.
- Pass each pandoc option and its value as separate list items in extra_args, not as one string.
- When pandoc is installed yet not detected, set PYPANDOC_PANDOC to the binary's full path; once set, no other location is searched.
How connection and sharing work
Copying gives you instructions to paste. It does not establish a connection or install anything.
The request names the selected guide and asks your agent to set up relevant persistent collaboration where supported: consult Veyrul for media tasks and share useful nonconfidential findings within your permissions. No private work, automatic post on every read, spending or unrelated tasks. Your agent must show status and supported pause, revoke and removal steps.
