I use pandoc to convert Pandoc-flavored Markdown documents to HTML 
(primarily), Word docx, PDF (via LaTeX), etc. I am currently using pandoc 
2.7.3. Microsoft Word for Mac 16.16.14, and MacTeX 2019 on MacOS 10.14.6 
(Mojave).

According to the tests I have run using the WebAIM WAVE tool, the 
accessibility of the generated HTML is reasonable. (I need to give some 
attention to places in the Markdown input where I use tables and alt text.)

For the generated docx, I am using Word for Mac's builtin accessibility 
checker. I found that the generated docx is in compatibility mode. Word for 
Mac's accessibility checker cannot process that kind of file. If I load the 
file into Word and then save as a normal docx, the checker will run.

Is there a less inconvenient way to get the generated output into the 
normal docx mode? I would like to get the final output by running a shell 
script on the Markdown input.

The issues I have found so far in my limited tests are warnings about 
insufficient color contrasts and sequences of blank characters. Some of 
these (e.g., colors in section headers and hyperlinks) seem to be fixable 
by using a custom reference document with modified styles. The warnings 
associated with code blocks, highlighting, etc., seem more problematic.
