The collations, when copied and pasted, lose their format. A way to serve readers who want to copy the collations for use in their own work is to provide Word versions of the collations.

Proposed solution

We can leverage Quarto's multi-format capabilities to generate the Word documents from the existing .qmd files. Those files can be offered as an external asset, hosted in Google Cloud, the Internet Archive or other services. Google Cloud is the favoured option for data governance considerations.

This solution requires some minor adjustments to the styling formatting. For instance, {.greek-added} must be changed to {custom-style="greek-added"}, etc. The attached file contains a first test. The output had to be heavily post-edited as the results were good but not perfect.
