This will read all paragraph and character classes as divs and spans,
respectively. Dependent styles will still be resolved, but will be
wrapped with appropriate style tags. It is controlled by the `+styles`
extension (`-f docx+styles`).
This can be used in conjunction with the `custom-style` feature in the
docx writer for a pandoc-docx editing workflow. Users can convert from
an input docx, reading the custom-styles, and then use that same input
docx file as a reference-doc for producing an output docx file. Styles
will be maintained across the conversion, even if pandoc doesn't
understand them.
Without the extension:
$ pandoc test/docx/custom-style-reference.docx -f docx -t markdown
This is some text.
This is text with an *emphasized* text style. And this is text with a
**strengthened** text style.
> Here is a styled paragraph that inherits from Block Text.
With the extension:
$ pandoc test/docx/custom-style-reference.docx -f docx+styles -t markdown
::: {custom-style="FirstParagraph"}
This is some text.
:::
::: {custom-style="BodyText"}
This is text with an
*[[emphasized]{custom-style="Emphatic"}]{custom-style="Emphatic"}* text
style. And this is text with a
**[[strengthened]{custom-style="Strengthened"}]{custom-style="Strengthened"}**
text style.
:::
::: {custom-style="MyBlockStyle"}

Pandoc
The universal markup converter
Pandoc is a Haskell library for converting from one markup format to another, and a command-line tool that uses this library.
Pandoc can read Markdown, CommonMark, PHP Markdown Extra, GitHub-Flavored Markdown, MultiMarkdown, and (subsets of) Textile, reStructuredText, HTML, LaTeX, MediaWiki markup, TWiki markup, TikiWiki markup, Creole 1.0, Haddock markup, OPML, Emacs Org mode, DocBook, JATS, Muse, txt2tags, Vimwiki, EPUB, ODT, and Word docx.
Pandoc can write plain text,

reveal.js or
S5 HTML slide shows. It can also
produce PDF output on systems where LaTeX,
ConTeXt, pdfroff, wkhtmltopdf, prince, or weasyprint is
installed.
Pandoc’s enhanced version of Markdown includes syntax for tables,
definition lists, metadata blocks, Div blocks, footnotes and
citations, embedded LaTeX (including math), Markdown inside HTML block
elements, and much more. These enhancements, described further under
Pandoc’s Markdown, can be disabled using the markdown_strict format.
Pandoc has a modular design: it consists of a set of readers, which parse text in a given format and produce a native representation of the document (like an abstract syntax tree or AST), and a set of writers, which convert this native representation into a target format. Thus, adding an input or output format requires only adding a reader or writer. Users can also run custom pandoc filters to modify the intermediate AST.
Because pandoc’s intermediate representation of a document is less expressive than many of the formats it converts between, one should not expect perfect conversions between every format and every other. Pandoc attempts to preserve the structural elements of a document, but not formatting details such as margin size. And some document elements, such as complex tables, may not fit into pandoc’s simple document model. While conversions from pandoc’s Markdown to all formats aspire to be perfect, conversions from formats more expressive than pandoc’s Markdown can be expected to be lossy.
Installing

Documentation
Pandoc’s website contains a full User’s Guide. It is also available here as pandoc-flavored Markdown. The website also contains some examples of the use of pandoc and a limited online demo.
