Looks like pandoc is the way to go, I'll have to try it. Still, Search/Replace for italics in LibreOffice ought to work. Try this recipe: 1) Edit -> Find / Replace -> More options: check the box for "regular expressions". 2) On "Search for", type "(.*)" (without the quotes, with the parens). 3) With the cursor still on the "Search for" box, click on "Format" and select "Italics". 4) As a replacement, type: "/$1/" (for Org). 5) Replace all. Annoyingly, there seems to be no way to write a macro for this in LibreOffice, as formating attributes on search/replace isn't part of the API. (If anyone has information to the contrary, please let me know.) Yours, Christian
