Hi

I've also been testing this (been after this feature for ages!), I think your confusing the class notation with the custom attribute notation. Try this

::: MyStyle 
Paragraph here
:::


which will create

<div class="MyStyle">
Paragraph here
</div>

or this

::: {custom-style="My Style"}
Paragraph here
:::

which I believe will give you

<div custom-style="My Style">
Paragraph here
</div>

although I'm not sure an attribute of that name will be helpful...

I was trying to test the `fenced_divs` extension in pandoc 2.0.

I expected that it would behave like raw html divs, and thus I also expected

:::: {.custom-style="My Style"}
Testing custom style: "My Style"

Several lines.
::::

to behave the same as

<div custom-style="My Style">
Testing custom style: "My Style"

Several lines.
</div>

when converting from markdown to docx.

However the first approach is not working, I even see the ":::: {...}" in the output document.

Did I misunderstand the use case for fenced_divs?

Thanks!
