title: How to preserve Excel text formatting when reading/writing Excel files with Pandas?
body: <p>I have a script that basically reads in a template Excel file to a Pandas dataframe, adds extra columns and then writes it to an output Excel file.</p>
  
  <p>One of the columns in the Excel file contains text with special formatting (sub<sub>script</sub>, super<sup>script</sup>, <s>strikethrough</s>, ...). When writing that column back to the output file, all this formatting is lost and converted to plain text.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to preserve text formatting between input &amp; output?</p>
