italicicized and sub/superset text gets put on separate line

[mikegilchrist]

I realize this may not be of any interest to you, but I'm trying to use your code to convert a bunch of lecture slides to an outline. However, when I have bold/italic or sub/superset formatting such as Pr(C by age _a_) or W_A (where one _ is subscripting and two is italics), the output becomes

• Cancer Risk = Pr(Develop cancer by age
• a
• )

or

• W
• A

Ideally we'd get

• Cancer Risk = Pr(Develop cancer by age a)

or

• $W_A$

Do you have an example file that you might be able to share? At the moment I assume you are using the formula editor in LibreOffice

Hi. I have found this repo when searching for a solution to rescue my own slides and lecture notes from the odp format 😄. As I had this same issue with italic, bold and underline text, I have made a fork and implemented support for it. I have tried to make the minimum required changes, but in the end I have not been able to add this without rewriting a good part of the code. The fork is here https://github.com/rbejar/odp2md and, as far as I can tell, it works as before, but also supports these text styles (it might have some new glitches, I have not tested thoroughly yet). I have also included a new odp file that can be used to see this new functionality in action.

I think the tool will be useful if I find the time to do the rescue operation with my slides. I might even add a few more improvements if I need them.

I have not made a pull request as the changes are somewhat deep and I don't know if you have the time or the interest to integrate that in your repository. If you want, I will make it. If you don't, my many abandoned, half-cooked projects and me will understand you perfectly.
