Org-mode does not simply come with great support in Emacs, it is
essentially an emacs module I believe.
Using ConTeXt (not emacs, markdown, or other such things...) you can
indeed export to xml, xhtml, and create epub files. How these can get
converted to Word is another problem that is to be addressed to the
MS-Word community.
Hans showed us at the last ConTeXt conference:
MWE:
\enablemode[export]
\startmode[export]
\setupbackend
[export=yes,
xhtml=yes,
css=export-example.css]
\setupexport
[hyphen=yes,
width=60em]
\stopmode
\starttext
\startquotation
\input darwin
\stopquotation
\stoptext
The css example file can be found in the standalone:
tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/export-example.css
This creates a filename-export directory.
The xhtml file can be read in a browser.
(some tools seem to have problem with the hyphen=yes option)
You will also notice the message:
backend > export > create epub with: mtxrun --script epub
--make "filename" [--purge --rename --svgmath]
Running mtxrun will create the epub file. I have tested reading it on
an iPad.
There must be some way to get this into Word...
