I have done that successfully in the past! This time it wouldn't work.
In the "other options" menu, after you choose the italics, there's a
"including styles" checkbox. Libreoffice would only find the italics if
that was checked, but if it was checked, clicking replace wouldn't work
-- it would ignore the contents of the replace box, and instead change
the style of the paragraph to "paragraph style". No matter what I poked,
that's all it would do. I appreciate Libreoffice in a way, but it's
mystery behavior like that that makes me get out of it as soon as
humanly possible.
It can be pandoc's job now!
