Link issues in a Word docx document

Link issues in a Word docx document

[Franco Fassio]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2567 bytes --]

This my first post, so hello to everybody and please let me thank the 
Pandoc developers for their work and for sharing it for free.

I'm writing because I spotted one MS Word docx document with hyperlinks 
issues when converted to html: links texts are just surrounded with <em> 
tags and not converted to html links.
I'm using a simple command line such as "pandoc -S in.docx -o out.html" 
(nothing changes with or without -S option).
Curiously, if I open the document with issues and save it again with Word, 
then Pandoc conversion works flawlessly.
Looking at document.xml inside the docx "zipped" file, a colleague of mine 
spotted several differences in hyperlink syntax (see attachment). This 
explains Pandoc behaviour but I suppose Pandoc should properly handle 
hyperlinks in both cases.

It seems a sort of Pandoc "bug" to me and, as instructed 
(http://pandoc.org/help.html), I'm writing to this group to raise the issue 
here. What do you think? Should I report this issue as a bug?

Thank you for your help.

Re: Link issues in a Word docx document

[John MacFarlane]

The document on the right in your image uses

<w:instrText> HYPERLINK ... </w:instrText>

rather than <w:hyperlink>.

Pandoc handles <w:hyperlink> but not the <w:instrText> version.
It should be fairly simple to add support for the latter.
Please submit an issue on the bug tracker,
https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues
