docx fails to open

[slowkow]

I am trying to follow the tutorial, step by step, before editing any files to include my own text.

It seems like the PDF and HTML build OK. But the DOCX is not working.

When I run:

bash build/build.sh

It runs, and I get output files:

README.md
citations.tsv
manuscript.docx
manuscript.html
manuscript.md
manuscript.pdf
references.json
variables.json

I can open the HTML and PDF files, and they look mostly OK.

The HTML seems to be missing the ORCID logo:

The PDF seems OK:

But the DOCX file does not open:

[slowkow]

pandoc -v
pandoc 3.1.4
Features: +server +lua
Scripting engine: Lua 5.4

The following command produces a file that I can open with Word, but the equations are not rendered:

pandoc output/manuscript.html -o output/test.docx

That appears to be related to this issue regarding equation numbering in docx: #435

It's a bug in our pandoc-eqnos dependency, which is no longer actively maintained. The only workarounds I'm aware of are to try replacing pandoc-eqnos with pandoc-crossref (theoretically possible, but would take some work) or to manually number the equations for the docx version.

I can't open the docx files produced by manubot.

I'm having better luck with opening the files produced by quarto, so I might try that instead.

Is that still true if you remove equation numbering before exporting to docx? That is what I believe is causing the issue.
