Custom styles are the answer. Just define a named character style "Awesome", or perhaps "Emoji" in case you change fonts with the right font in the right size[^1] in your reference-doc, and then in your markdown source:

    [👍]{custom-style=Emoji}

    

[^1]: This is assuming that your "word processor" can handle color fonts. If not Symbola is a good b/w alternative.

If you do this a lot a Lua filter can save you some typing:

``````lua

function Span (span)

  if span.classes:includes"emoji" then

    span.attributes['custom-style'] = "Emoji"

    return span

  end

  -- else

  return nil

end

``````

Now you can just type `[👍]{.emoji}` and run pandoc with this filter.

It works the same with divs and character styles.

Dear Folks,

Is there a way to change the font for a particular part of a DOCX word document?

I am using Source Sans Pro as the main font for my document but I am using font awesome icons in some parts of the text for which I would like to change the font to font-awesome so that they come up with right icons instead of just squares.

Is there a way to do this with a lua filter so that I do not have to go into the and do some post processing? I will also like to change the font color of these icons as well.

I am able to achiever this in the PDF and HTML by writing some raw latex and HTML respectively but I am not sure how to do this for DOCX.

I am using a reference DOCX with some minor customizations for Font  and font size.

I hope someone can lend me some insight.

Thanks in advance,
Nanda
