Re: no color after LaTeX -> docx

Well, after saying that pandoc doesn't support color, I saw this.  You're right, this seems to be something the LaTeX reader does.

% pandoc -f latex -t native
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\textcolor{blue}{blue}
\end{document}
[ Para
    [ Span
        ( "" , [] , [ ( "style" , "color: blue" ) ] ) [ Str "blue" ]
    ]
]


Looks like this goes back to commit d9439808f2fe226aad027c8c9d0a38217a1e8c34 in 2017.

I don't think I ought to have merged this change -- this is too HTML-centric for the LaTeX reader to be producing.
