What problem does it solve?
HWP files often have undiagnosable layout breaks, hidden structural differences between versions, or read-only distribution locks that prevent editing, and users need a fast CLI-based way to inspect their internal structure, debug rendering issues, and unlock restricted files without manual GUI work.
Core Features & Use Cases
- HWP Layout Debugging: Dump internal IR structure and generate debug-overlay SVGs to pinpoint where tables, paragraphs, or cells are breaking during render.
- Version Comparison: Compare structural differences between two HWP/HWPX files line by line to track changes between document drafts.
- Read-Only Unlock & Thumbnail Extraction: Remove distribution locks from read-only HWP files and extract embedded PrvImage thumbnails for quick previews.
- Use Case: If a school notice HWP has a broken table layout, use this skill to dump its IR structure and identify the root cause of the misalignment.
Quick Start
Use the rhwp-advanced skill to dump the internal IR structure of your misaligned HWP file to identify the root cause of the layout break.
