org-mode verse blocks in docx

org-mode verse blocks in docx

Apologies if this question has already been answered, but I couldn't find 
anything for this specific conversion by searching around.

I'm trying to export org-mode containing verse blocks to docx, but the docx 
output doesn't have any style attached to the verse blocks that I can 
modify in my reference.docx.

I want to be able to format verses via Word's styles so that I don't need 
to format each block individually.

Is it possible to do this, or am I missing something simple?

Minimal example for what I'm trying to do:

input.org:

#+begin_verse
λείπου μηδὲ σύ, παρθέν', ἐπ' οἴκων,
μεγάλους μὲν ἰδοῦσα νέους θανάτους,
πολλὰ δὲ πήματα  καινοπαθῆ·
κοὐδὲν τούτων ὅ τι μὴ Ζεύς.
#+end_verse

pandoc -i input.org -o output.docx

You'll see that the verse just has the "Body Text" style.

Thanks,
Charles

Currently verse blocks are parsed as pandoc LineBlock elements.
When rendered to docx, they appear as regular paragraphs with
hard breaks, so there is no styling.

However, you could try using a filter that puts each LineBlock
element into a Div with a custom style attribute.
Then the docx writer will add this style.

How to do that?  See the documentation on Lua filters on the
website. With a Lua filter it would be something like this:

function LineBlock(el)
  local div = pandoc.Div({el})
  div.attributes['custom-style'] = 'Poetry'
  return div
end

Save this as poetry.lua.  Then invoke with

pandoc --lua-filter poetry.lua yourfile.org -o yourfile.docx
