Using fancy_lists

Using fancy_lists

[Don Raikes]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1635 bytes --]

Hello,

 

I am new to pandoc (this week only), and I wish to create an outline for a project.

 

I want the outline to be of the standard type:

 

I.                  First topic

a.      First sub-topic

b.      Second sub-topic

                                                    i.     First sub-sub-topic

 

II.                Second topic

a.      First sub-topic

 

III.              etc

 

From the documentation, it looks like using fancy_lists extension is the way to do it, but I am unclear exactly how to:

 

Invoke the fancy_lists extension

Actually create the outline list items.

 

Any tips / pointers / examples would be greatly appreciated.

 

BTW: I am writing in markdown and converting into docx if that makes any difference.

Thanks, Donald

Re: Using fancy_lists

[John MacFarlane]

fancy_lists is enabled by default for pandoc's markdown input,
so you don't need any special options, just '-f markdown'.

However, you should review the documentation for list nesting
with sublists.

RE: Using fancy_lists

[Don Raikes]

	Thanks John,

When I convert a markdown file based on hyour answer word is not treating the outline as an outline.  I.e. I can't move an item in the outline to a different level simply by using tab or backspace.

--  code snippet --
# Outline Test

This is some introductory text.

I)	Topic 1
II)	Topic 2
III)	Topic 3
-- end code snippet --

Command to convert:
C:\> pandoc -f markdown --atx -o outline.docx outline.md

I have a fairly large project at work and need to get it outlined and want to use markdown to do it even though the final presentation will be in word format.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Donald

RE: Using fancy_lists

[John MacFarlane]

It should be coming through in Word as a list.  I don't know
what more would be required for outline mode to work.  Does
outline mode typically work for any list?  (Sorry, not a
Word user.)  Does it work for you if you create lists with
regular non-fancy markers?

RE: Using fancy_lists

[Don Raikes]

Yes if I use just regular list markup, converting it to docx does create regular lists, but with the fancy_list format it is not being presented as a listin the docx file.

That's strange. It works perfectly for me.
Have you said what version of pandoc you have?

RE: Using fancy_lists

[Don Raikes]

I am running pandoc 2.7.3 on windows 10.

I also have access to an installation of pandoc 2.2.1 on debian buster. 2.2.1 seems to be the latest release of pandoc in the repositories.

RE: Using fancy_lists

[John MacFarlane]

Hm. Since I can't reproduce the issue, I'm not sure how to help.
Did you use *exactly* the markdown sample you included in your
email?  Spacing can matter with lists, particularly with Roman
numeral lists (two spaces are needed after I. in order to avoid
confusion with an initial).
