Custom styles can be used in the docx and ICML formats.

+By default, pandoc's docx and ICML output applies a predefined set of styles
+for blocks such as paragraphs and block quotes, and uses largely default
+formatting (italics, bold) for inlines. This will work for most
+purposes, especially alongside a `reference.docx` file. However, if you
+need to apply your own styles to blocks, or match a preexisting set of
+styles, pandoc allows you to define custom styles for blocks and text
+using `div`s and `span`s, respectively.
+
+If you define a `div` or `span` with the attribute `custom-style`,
+pandoc will apply your specified style to the contained elements. So,
+for example using the `bracketed_spans` syntax,
+
+ [Get out]{custom-style="Emphatically"}, he said.
+
+would produce a docx file with "Get out" styled with character
+style `Emphatically`. Similarly, using the `fenced_divs` syntax,

+
+ ::: {custom-style="Poetry"}
+ | A Bird came down the Walk---
+ | He did not know I saw---
+ :::
+
+would style the two contained lines with the `Poetry` paragraph style.
+
+For docx output, styles will be defined in the output file as inheriting
+from normal text, if the styles are not yet in your reference.docx.
+If they are already defined, pandoc will not alter the definition.
+
+This feature allows for greatest customization in conjunction with
+[pandoc filters]. If you want all paragraphs after block quotes to be
+indented, you can write a filter to apply the styles necessary. If you
+want all italics to be transformed to the `Emphasis` character style
+(perhaps to change their color), you can write a filter which will
+transform all italicized inlines to inlines within an `Emphasis`
+custom-style `span`.
+
+For docx output, you don't need to enable any extensions for
+custom styles to work.
