This depends on the pandoc writers for each format. As noted in my
original message, support for other formats requires more work.

The additional work to get support for ODT and docx is rather minimal
though: change lines 27-29 to

local function markup_inlines (inlines)
local attr = {class='mark', ['custom-style']='Highlighted'}
return pandoc.Span(inlines, attr)
end

The text can then be style via the 'Highlighted' character style.
