DOCX Reader to support DOCX table custom style

[rgaiacs]

Microsoft Word allows user to define custom style for tables.

Would be great if the DOCX reader would support table custom style as it support paragraph custom style.

Minimal Working Example

mwe-table-custom-style.docx

XML structure

<w:tbl>
  <w:tblPr>
    <w:tblStyle w:val="Example"/>
    <w:tblW w:w="0" w:type="auto"/>
    <w:tblLook w:val="0620" w:firstRow="1" w:lastRow="0" w:firstColumn="0" w:lastColumn="0" w:noHBand="1" w:noVBand="1"/>
  </w:tblPr>
  ...
</w:tbl>

DOCX reader would have to read the value of w:val in <w:tblStyle /> that is a child of <w:tblPr> which is a child of <w:tbl>.

Expected Output

<table> has attribute data-custom-style. For example, pandoc --from docx+styles --to html mwe-table-custom-style.docx would return

<table data-custom-style="Example">
<colgroup>
<col style="width: 50%" />
<col style="width: 50%" />
</colgroup>
<thead>
<tr class="header">
<th>A</th>
<th>B</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr class="odd">
<td>1</td>
<td>2</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

Observed Output

pandoc --version returns

pandoc 3.1.11.1
Features: +server +lua
Scripting engine: Lua 5.4

<table> is missing the attribute data-custom-style. For example, pandoc --from docx+styles --to html mwe-table-custom-style.docx returns

<table>
<colgroup>
<col style="width: 50%" />
<col style="width: 50%" />
</colgroup>
<thead>
<tr class="header">
<th>A</th>
<th>B</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr class="odd">
<td>1</td>
<td>2</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

Some other similar issues: #7549, #6496 (should probably be closed), #4697 (old with further references)

+1 Support for table styling would be super useful.

For consistency it would be good to implement this also for docx output (and ODT). But maybe okay to start with reader support.

[jgm]

Oh, it looks like the docx writer already supports custom-style on tables. (Not documented.)

Very cool that is now supported. Thank you for adding this so quickly.
