Hi,

I can't get the styling for unordered lists work in case of a html > docx conversion. Ordered lists work just fine. I tried both the "old" and the "new" unordered lists styling as per w3 ( https://www.w3docs.com/learn-html/html-lists.html ) Could you please help me with what I'm doing wrong?

<html>
      <body>
               <p>works fine</p>
		<ol type="I">
			<li>roman first</li>
			<li>roman second</li>
			<li>roman third</li>
		</ol>
		<p>doesn't work (old html markup)</p>
		<ul type="square">
			<li>expecting square</li>
			<li>expecting square</li>
			<li>expecting square</li>
		</ul>
		<p>doesn't work (new html markup)</p>
		<ul style="list-style-type: square;">
			<li>expecting square</li>
			<li>expecting square</li>
			<li>expecting square</li>
		</ul>
	</body>
</html>

My output is:

roman numerals (as expected)
disc (expected: square)
disc (expected: square)
output.docx

We don't have any way to represent different unordered list markers in the AST, so this will just be lost in translation. In general, pandoc is not designed to translate these stylistic details.
