Setting bold font to semibold font in generated docx

Setting bold font to semibold font in generated docx

[Nandakumar Chandrasekhar]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1114 bytes --]

Dear Folks,

I am converting a markdown document to DOCX using a customized reference 
doc initially procured from Pandoc according to the documentation here.

I am able to set the bold font-weight to semibold for the title and heading 
fields.

However, I do not see. a way of setting all bolded text in paragraphs and 
bulleted lists to semibold.

It looks like I need to set the strong style to semibold to achieve this 
but Pandoc does not support styling that element as far as I can tell.

Are there any workarounds available are will this feature be supported in 
the future? 

I would prefer to not have to do any manual post-processing after Pandoc 
generates the document.

Thanks in advance.

AFAIK you can't change automatic styles but you can use a Lua filter to
replace Pandoc's Strong elements with Span elements with a custom named
style.

``````lua
function Strong (elem)
  return pandoc.Span(elem.content, { ['custom-style'] = 'Semibold' })
end
``````

Now define a named character style 'Semibold' in your reference doc and run
pandoc with that reference doc and this filter.

Thanks for the code snippet @BPJ.

I do not have too much experience building my own Pandoc filter but
definitely a way forward and a reason to learn Lua. :-)

Cheers.

@BPJ I tried out you code snippet as lua filter and it works!

Thank you so much.

Would it be possible to add this filter to the list of Pandoc filters and
what would be the process to contribute? I do intend to keep this evolving
while I learn Lua.

I hope it works with bold italics too. If not it might need quite some
adjustment, but I think that the automatic italics will mix with the named
semibold.
