Description
Hi, many collaborators like to use MS word when writing the paper. It would be nice to have a bidirectional workflow that allows:
write in qmd -> word -> edit in word -> back to qmd
So it would be easier to incorporate the editing from collaborators.
For R markdown, there is already a usable package redoc for this purpose https://github.com/noamross/redoc/
I'm wondering is it possible to have a similar thing for qmd.
Thank you!
