Re: Markdown/HTML: Convert CSS styles to ODT styles (enhancement)

In theory, it is possible to implement the custom-styles extension for the ODT format, but it requires someone willing to work on it... However, if you want to stick to ODT (which I approve), the solution I proposed just works.

I forgot to mention that important detail. Character styles are used for spans with `custom-style` attributes. Paragraph styles are used for paragraphs in divs with `custom-style` attributes.

You simply get a copy of the default reference doc with `pandoc -o custom-reference.docx --print-default- data-file reference.docx`, add a Rose style to `custom-reference.docx`, and give a `custom-style=Rose` attribute in Markdown to colored text.
