DOCX custom-style for lists and tables

[bpj]

There have been several questions on pandoc-discuss lately on styling lists and tables in DOCX. This is currently not possible: If you wrap a list or table in a div with custom-style=Foo this results in applying the paragraph style Foo to all the items in the list or cells in the table, which probably seldom is what the user expects. What would it take to apply list style Foo or table style Foo in these cases? I guess @jkr is the person who could answer this.

@bpj see related issues: #2667, #2033, #774

Looks like we should close this issue (and others?) in favour of a single one?

I agree with not having multiple duplicate issues. Two of them have already been closed. I see two relevant ones open (maybe not as concise as this one, but with more discussion).

#2667 deals with grid table formatting but indirectly also with table styles

#1024 has been mentioned elsewhere as a way of introducing necessary changes to support adding custom styles to tables (different from the official "Table") Note that this issue does not deal with custom-style for tables directly

Maybe it's not a bad idea to keep this one open for now.

Is there any progress on this?

I don't know what kind of answer you expect. If this is a way of saying "go work on it", then please refrain from asking any such question in the future.

It certainly wasn't meant as a way of passively aggressively asking someone to work on it. Maybe a better way to ask would have been, "Is this ticket scheduled for a specific release?"

In general, I can see the ticket is open but I have no visibility into when it might get worked. And, no, I am in no way trying to pressure anyone to do work.

it's all volunteers here :-) so there is no schedule. either somebody comes along and makes a pull request, or at some point one of the core devs finds a day to burn... but no telling when that day arrives :)

Understood. Thanks!
