On Pandoc 2.6, I am converting from markdown to docx. I am trying to learn 
and use the custom styles for docx output and am getting some odd behavior. 
I am using the examples text straight from the Pandoc User Guide. I have 
only substituted the name of my custom style that is defined in my 
reference.docx.

Just placing the following in my markdown file results in no styled text:
[Get out]{custom-style="greyBackground"}, he said.

But placing this in my markdown file results in styled text:
::: {custom-style="greyBackground"}
| A Bird came down the Walk---
| He did not know I saw---
:::

And placing both of the following contiguously in my markdown file results 
in neither having the styled text:
[Get out]{custom-style="greyBackground"}, he said.

::: {custom-style="greyBackground"}
| A Bird came down the Walk---
| He did not know I saw---
:::

Am I doing something wrong with the bracketed span style? Not sure what it 
could be since I am copying nearly directly from the example in the user 
guide. Is this a bug, or is there some trick or consideration I am not 
getting?

Thanks.
Phil
