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

[Bastien DUMONT <bastien.dumont-VwIFZPTo/vqsTnJN9+BGXg@public.gmane.org>]

The question is more about if the output of Pages is compliant with the specification (https://www.ecma-international.org/publications-and-standards/standards/ecma-376/). From what I have seen (for instance the example given in Part 1, p. 53-54), it is. If I am right, this is not a bug of Pages, since it should produce compliant documents, not necessarily documents that follow exactly the same encoding strategies as Word.
