Re: When Converting From DOCX to Markdown Formatting For Lists Are Not Carried Over

[Kevin Fjelsted <kfjelsted-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>]

Sorry about the typo and spell corrector I missed.

* Save  a docx file from word with at least two lists one ordered and one unordered. 
Convert with Pandoc to markdown and make sure the list formatting shows up in other words a “-“ before each unordered item, and a unique number before each ordered list item. 
One would issue this works because it is so common.,

Then try the same function by creating a document from scratch in Mac Pages and follow the same procedure including exporting a DOCX file. 
This file will not created ordered or unordered markdown in the experiences previously documented in this thread.

Is this an issue to be reported in Pandoc, or Apple? 
It should be noted that DOCX and ePub are really the only portable document methods available for Pages users that want to export to an open format.
