Render-PDF-Doc Skill

This skill handles layout only (CJK fonts, table column widths) with raw pandoc + xelatex — no Quarto, whose tbl-colwidths has reported PDF regressions (issues 6089/9200). Not for: a manuscript with a bibliography (/manage-refs scripts/render_pandoc.sh), an institutional .docx form (/fill-protocol), the ICMJE COI form (/fill-icmje-coi), figures or PPTX (/make-figures, /present-paper).

Dependencies

Python 3 is required by the wrapper. FontTools is optional for the font-file coverage check (python3 -m pip install fonttools).

# macOS
brew install pandoc
brew install --cask mactex-no-gui          # xelatex + xeCJK (~5 GB)
