no color after LaTeX -> docx

no color after LaTeX -> docx

[姜政毅（贪吃的小神仙）]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 752 bytes --]

I am trying to convert latex to docx with pandoc. 

LaTeX code is very simple:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\begin{document}
This is a \textcolor{blue}{blue} word.
\end{document}

And I convert it to docx by command
pandoc -s file.tex -o file.docx

But file.docx do not have color. Can anybody tell me what is going on here?

Re: no color after LaTeX -> docx

[Bastien DUMONT]

Colors are not supported by Pandoc's internal representation of the document. To get an idea of what Pandoc takes account of, simply read the “Pandoc's Markdown” section in the manual (https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#pandocs-markdown): even if you don't use markdown, it reflects the elements supported by the software. If you are comfortable with it, you can also use the Lua reference for Pandoc's types (https://pandoc.org/lua-filters.html#lua-type-reference).

There are good news, however. If you use:

  pandoc -s -f latex+raw_tex -t markdown

you will see that the option “raw_tex” instructs Pandoc to include all LaTeX code it doesn't understand as raw LaTeX snippets (RawInline type) instead of ignoring them. It should be possible to process these RawInline objects with a filter to transform them into raw DOCX code to be inserted in the DOCX output. Maybe someone on this list already wrote it?

It seems that the LaTeX reader encodes the color info in a style attribute?

Re: no color after LaTeX -> docx

[Bastien DUMONT]

Oh my bad, I mistyped \textcolor in my experiments! This is better indeed:

  - There is no need to use -f latex+raw_tex;
  - The filter only has to transform the attribute `style="color: blue"` into `custom-style=color-blue`;
  - Then, you can modify the character style “color-blue” in the resulting DOCX file (or your reference doc) to have the text displayed in blue.

Re: no color after LaTeX -> docx

[John MacFarlane]

Well, after saying that pandoc doesn't support color, I saw this.  You're right, this seems to be something the LaTeX reader does.

% pandoc -f latex -t native
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\textcolor{blue}{blue}
\end{document}
[ Para
    [ Span
        ( "" , [] , [ ( "style" , "color: blue" ) ] ) [ Str "blue" ]
    ]
]


Looks like this goes back to commit d9439808f2fe226aad027c8c9d0a38217a1e8c34 in 2017.

I don't think I ought to have merged this change -- this is too HTML-centric for the LaTeX reader to be producing.

Maybe (in the spirit of
https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/8988#issuecomment-1673442117, which
was about writers, not readers) such info could be added as something like
latex-style="textcolor: blue" (where "latex" is here derived from the
reader name)?
