Custom Numbered Outline Format (Docx)

Custom Numbered Outline Format (Docx)

I am new to Pandoc and would like to convert a bunch of markdown docs to 
Word docxs where all of the lists are formatted (in Word) as follows 
(example in green below)

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to do achieve this formatting? 
I've been fooling around with Word style templates and Pandoc but no luck… 
There are too many docs to open each one in Word and manually format them…

Thank you all for the help!

___ = 0.25" indent
>>> = 12pt of space between items in the list

1. Item one
___1-1. Sub-item one of type one
___1-2. Sub-item two of type one
___ ___ – Maybe some sub-items will have bullets
___ ___ – Maybe even two bullets
___1-3. Sub-item three of type one
___1-A. Sub-item one of type two
___1-B. Sub-item two of type two
___1-C. Sub-item three of type two
 ___ ___ – Maybe sub-items of type two can even have bullets
 ___ ___ – Maybe sub-items of type two can even have bullets
 ___ ___ – Maybe sub-items of type two can even have bullets
>>>
2. Item two
___2-1. More sub-items
___2-2. Etc.
___2-A. Etc.
 ___ ___ –  Etc.
___2-B.  Etc.
___2-C.  Etc.
>>>
3. Item three
___3-1. Etc.

Figured out a solution…

I defined a custom multilevel list style in the styles.docx Word doc with 5 
levels (1, 1-1, –, 1-A, –). I then defined 5 paragraph styles New1 through 
New5, with only New1 having 12pt of space before it and all others having 
0pts before and after. I also colored New2 & 3 brown and New4 and 5 blue 
for clarity (color settings not in screenshot).

Then, I linked the each level in the custom multilevel list to a style (see 
pink circle in bottom right). This was the key!

I then ran the following command on the (really-ugly) .md text below:
pandoc --reference-doc=../styles.docx --lua-filter=../pagebreak.lua -o 
docx/Example-000.docx md/Example-000.md 


::: {custom-style="New1"}
Item 1
:::
::: {custom-style="New2"}
Sub-item one of type one
:::
::: {custom-style="New2"}
Sub-item two of type one
:::
::: {custom-style="New3"}
Maybe some sub-items will have bullets
:::
::: {custom-style="New3"}
Maybe even two bullets
:::
::: {custom-style="New2"}
Sub-item three of type one
:::
::: {custom-style="New4"}
Sub-item one of type two
:::
::: {custom-style="New4"}
Sub-item two of type two
:::
::: {custom-style="New4"}
Sub-item three of type two
:::
::: {custom-style="New5"}
Maybe sub-items of type two can even have bullets
:::
::: {custom-style="New5"}
Maybe sub-items of type two can even have bullets
:::
::: {custom-style="New5"}
Maybe sub-items of type two can even have bullets
:::
::: {custom-style="New1"}
Item 2
:::
::: {custom-style="New2"}
More sub-items
:::
::: {custom-style="New2"}
Etc.
:::
::: {custom-style="New4"}
Etc.
:::
::: {custom-style="New5"}
Etc.
:::
::: {custom-style="New4"}
Etc.
:::
::: {custom-style="New4"}
Etc.
:::
::: {custom-style="New1"}
Item three
:::
::: {custom-style="New2"}
Etc.
:::

This was the resulting Word doc!

Problem solved! (but with ugly syntax in the .md file…) Posting here for 
future reference in case others want custom lists too!
