Re: Customize CodeBlock font size in docx

[Bastien DUMONT <bastien.dumont-VwIFZPTo/vqsTnJN9+BGXg@public.gmane.org>]

Mmh, you're right, the text in the Source Code paragraphs has the character style Verbatim Char, which makes impossible to change its size. Conceptually, this behaviour is right: the problem is more that, in the DOCX format (or some of its implementations, such as Word and LibreOffice), the font properties set in a paragraph style don't take precedence over those of the linked character style, which I find rather illogical.

If you don't want syntax highlighting in inline code, you can write a filter to transform Code elements into Spans with a custom style. Then you will be able to set this custom style to a monospaced font at the normal size and to adapt freely the Verbatim Char style to your needs for code blocks.
