Multi-level lists in Pandoc don't render when using officedown about officedown HOT 3 CLOSED

Thanks,

If I change output format from officedown::rdocx_document to rmarkdown::word_document, I get the same result.

It seems it's an issue with pander::pandoc.list. For example, this is not a valid list, it's a block code (because indeted with 4 spaces):

The md list generated after "#### Subsection5"

    * Talking Point Parent 
        * Talking Point Child 
        * Talking Point Child  

The result :

* Talking Point Parent 
    * Talking Point Child 
    * Talking Point Child  

To be a valid list, it should be:

The md list after "#### Subsection5"

* Talking Point Parent 
  * Talking Point Child 
  * Talking Point Child  

The result :

• Talking Point Parent
  • Talking Point Child
  • Talking Point Child

Ah interesting! The particular change in formatting would make sense as a code chunk.

I will also redirect this question over to Pandoc, but do you have any insights on workaround in officedown that could help? I haven't been able to see any direct implementations of pandoc.list() in an officedown context and would be curious if there's an alternative to this process.

UPDATE -- I was able to fix the issue! I still have to do some more sleuthing to figure out exactly what the exact issue(s) were, but it seemed that first instantiating the nested lists as vectors (eg listy <- c() ) as opposed to lists ( eg listy <- list() ) was causing some trouble within pandoc list. Once I changed that and cleaned up the reference doc it worked fine. Thank you so much for your time and contributions!
