How to format lists in pandoc-generated docx documents?

How to format lists in pandoc-generated docx documents?

Hello all,


I am using pandoc 2.7.2 to generate a docx from markdown. The target docx 
format relies on funny indentation depths. Thus, I am using a hand-crafted 
reference.docx, which works just fine for most paragraph styles.


One exception are lists created by pandoc. I am not able to determine, how 
to customise my reference.docx, so that lists are properly indented or if 
there possibly is another way to customise list formats for 
pandoc-generated documents.


Thanks in advance,

Andreas

Ps: I have been advised on SO

to ask here.

Sorry, the list indentations are currently hard-coded and
can't be customized.

You could, however, postprocess the docx produced by pandoc,
changing the file numbering.xml in the docx container.

Or you could modify the source code and recompile.  These
values are set in src/Text/Pandoc/Writers/Docx.hs at lines
744-5 (step = 720, hang = 480).

Thanks for the information (and especially for putting all the work into a
very useful tool), John.  I will go with your advice to post-process the
docs, as I have to do that anyway for other reasons (and as I would like to
use an official, unpatched pandoc release); I will try to use python-docx
first.

Hi - I have the same problem (looking to adjust list indentation in the 
.docx reference doc). Has the position on this changed since 2019?
