Replace docx custom-style with another style

Replace docx custom-style with another style

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1647 bytes --]

Hi,

I am trying to go from DOCX to Markdown. As reported here (
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/pandoc-discuss/author$20title$20docx%7Csort:date/pandoc-discuss/R_o0pLxGOG0/8lzV-bKbCgAJ) 
I am having issues with Word styles, namely with the title style. As soon 
as I save my files, Word insists on changing the style name from "Title" to 
"Titel", and I cannot change it back which is really weird. (I cannot even 
create a new style with the name "Title" -- Word will rename this style to 
"Titel1".)

Anyway, I thought this might be a good job for a lua filter, but I am 
unable to code this myself. I have tried this, but it won't change the 
style.

```

function CorrectTitle(blk)

           local search = pandoc.Attr()

           local repl = pandoc.Attr()

           search.attributes["custom-style"] = "Titel"

           repl.attributes["custom-style"] = "Title"

           if (blk.t == "Div" and blk.attributes == search.attributes) then

                     return pandoc.Div({blk},repl)

           end

end

```

Any suggestions?

Best,
Denis

I think that is normal.

Word will present you with a localized name for the "standard" word styles.

I myself modify the standard word styles in spanish in my reference doc 
(Título 1, Título 2, etc.) and it all works as expected with pandoc.

That's the reason why Word won't let you define a new "Title" style, 
because it is already there (only you see it with your localized name).

Best regards,
  Agustín.

Nevermind. I see what you mean.

I normally don't do this kind of roundtrip.

Indeed, if I modify and save the docx generated by pandoc, the conversion 
from docx to md messes up the styles. I think we should open an issue about 
this...

Example:

Generate a simple docx with word:

```
pandoc -f markdown -t docx -o test.docx -M lang=es  << EOF
---
title: AMB Título
author: AMB
...

# My first level title

Blah blah blah
EOF
```

Bring it back to markdown, it works quite well:

```
pandoc -f docx+styles -t markdown -s test.docx
---
author: AMB
title: AMB Título
---

My first level title
====================

::: {custom-style="FirstParagraph"}
Blah blah blah
:::
```

However, if you open the word file, modify anything (add some text) and 
save, the conversion from docx to md has the wrong styles:

```
pandoc -f docx+styles -t markdown -s test.docx
::: {custom-style="Ttulo"}
AMB Título
:::

::: {custom-style="Author"}
AMB
:::

My first level title modified
=============================

::: {custom-style="FirstParagraph"}
Blah blah blahasdf
:::
```

Note that the Title 1 style is correctly identified, but not the Author or 
Title after saving the docx.

I opened https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/5523 with as much info as I 
could gather.

Thanks for opening an issue. Would be great if this could be fixed.

Concerning the lua filter, the correct code is:

```
return {
  {
    Div = function (div)
      if (div.attributes["custom-style"] == "Titel") then
        div.attributes["custom-style"] = "Title"
        return div
      end
    end,
  }
}
```

This changes Titel back to Title. However, this will still not write the 
title and author back into the metadata. I guess a more elaborate filter 
could do that, but in the meantime I'm using a two step approach:

```
pandoc document.docx -f docx+styles -o document.docx 
--lua-filter=resetTitleStyle.lua
pandoc document.docx -s -o document.md
```

After changing the style name back to the English version, pandoc will 
again (in the next run) populate the metadata.

Seems to work faily ok, but it would be great if such a workaround wouldn't 
be necessary.

Thanks again.

Denis
