Trouble with custom styles for docx output

Trouble with custom styles for docx output

[Phil]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1677 bytes --]

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

Did you specify the styles extension (-t docx+styles)
on the command line?

Thank you for the reply, John, and for this awesome tool.

Originally, I was not using the styles extension because the User Guide 
makes it seem like that extension is used when docx is input, not output.

Regardless, I have tried now again with -t docx+styles as you suggest and 
am getting the same results. I have also tried adding the styles to my 
input: -f markdown+styles but get the same results. Side question, does it 
matter whether  extensions are added to the -f or -t formats?

Answer to side question is yes.  Extensions can be
applied separately to reader and writer formats.

As for the main question, perhaps someone who uses
custom styles could answer better than I.

Phil, have you defined both a character style and a paragraph style for
your custom style in your reference docx file? You have to do that because
paragraph styles and character styles are distinct entities even if they
have the same name and the same visual effect.
