Describe your proposed improvement and the problem it solves.
As discussed here I'm looking for a way to have markdown ==highlighting== done with double '=' convert to font highlighting in Word or Libreoffice Writer files. This does not appear to be standard practice yet, but this mode of highlighting is used at least in Obsidian.md and I would guess some other markdown editor.
So from what I understand you'd need to implement a way for pandoc to interpret (?) the '==' as a marker for highlighting and then have it convert this to a way that .docx or .odt files can understand it?
Describe alternatives you've considered.
Markdown bold and italics with asterisks ('*' or '**') work well when converting a .md file to a .docx but I use a lot of highlighting in my markdown so it would be handy to be able to convert that to .docx files as well, without having to manually go through the file and replace all the ==highlighting== to something in Word.
Thanks :)
