ReStructuredText Inline Markup not working about docxbuilder HOT 1 CLOSED

Actually this problem was not restricted to tables, I had it even on body text.

Fortunately I found where the problem came from. I did not have the right Styles in my template.docx.

I figured it out thanks to the reStructuredText documentation.
It turns out that *this* is actually a disguised version of :emphasis:`this`.

Looking at docxbuilder's documentation Chapter 6.1.2 User defined styles, I thought that :emphasis:`this` would look for a "Emphasis" Word Style.

It turns out there is a built-in "Emphasis" Style, that appears in the Word Home>Styles.
But if you actually look at the implemented Styles (Alt+Ctrl+Maj+S) it does not appear in the list (at least not in my case).

The Fixing Operation:

• Open my template.docx
• Apply "Emphasis" to a chunk of text
• Check that "Emphasis" now appears in the Styles list
• Save

And then would my generated documents implement *this* as emphasis.

To be clear, you don't even have to define :

docx_style_names = {
   'emphasis': 'Emphasis'
}

The same can be done for **this**. Since it translates to :strong:`this`, you just have to repeat the Fixing Operation with the "Strong" Style.

Side Note:
Because I am French working with a french Word interface, my built-in Styles are translated, so "Emphasis" is called "Accentuation". But i guess the OpenXML backend treats it the same way. I did the Fixing Operation with "Accentuation" and it solved the problem the same way. So I guess, if you also have a translated version of Word, all you need is to find out what "Emphasis" and "Strong" translate to in your language.
