citeproc: Missing indentation in DOCX output of list of references

citeproc: Missing indentation in DOCX output of list of references

Hello everybody out there using Pandoc-citeproc,

Generating a numbered list of references from Markdown with Pandoc-citeproc 
for LaTeX output works great and there is a nice indentation after each 
(sequential) number for all references.
This indentation is missing when generating DOCX (Word) documents for any 
citation style (CSL file) I have tried so far.
Each reference is displayed in according to 
1. First author, second author: A long title with
a linebreak. Journal, Issue, Date, etc.
whereas I would prefere
1. First author, second author: A long title with
   a linebreak. Journal, Issue, Date, etc.
Is it possible to have this kind of indentation for list of references in 
DOCX documents?
Surprisingly, I could not find any solution about this issue by web search.

I made sure that the CSL files I use really included suitable indentation 
tags and also tried to adjust them but so for without success.
Are there additional diagnostics I could run to pin down the problem?

Thinking and searching hard for a solution, the closest I got was to use a 
DOCX template file with an enumeration in the references.

A disadvantage of this solution is that it is no longer possible to use the 
same CSL file for all output formats (because this would cause duplicate 
numbers in DOCX output; in this case it is necessary to remove the numbers).

There was a discription the same problem on 
https://community.rstudio.com/t/csl-style-is-not-recognized-when-output-in-word/143064. 
I think it would be nice to have a fix for beginners.

A minimal reproducible example would look like this:

bibliography.bib:
@article{lin1973, 
  author = {Shen Lin and Brian W. Kernighan}, 
  title = {An Effective Heuristic Algorithm for the Travelling-Salesman 
Problem}, 
  journal = {Operations Research}, 
  volume = {21}, 
  year = {1973}, 
  pages = {498--516}
}

document.md:
# Introduction
@lin1973 developed an algorithm for the travelling-salesman problem.
