Markdown to pptx - speaker notes containing list

[dmail00]

Using speaker notes for a pptx, it is said that it supports markdown. However, the following does not produce a valid list

% List in notes
%

-------------------------

## Donec sagittis

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Vivamus nec urna vitae quam tristique pellentesque.

::: notes

1. Aenean eget dolor tortor.
2. Donec suscipit velit tortor

1. Aenean eget dolor tortor.
1. Donec suscipit velit tortor

- Aenean eget dolor tortor.
- Donec suscipit velit tortor

+ Aenean eget dolor tortor.
+ Donec suscipit velit tortor

* Aenean eget dolor tortor.
* Donec suscipit velit tortor

:::

The first and second produce the same thing which is a list with two entries both prefixed by the number 1, neither of the unordered attempts produce a list yet entries on seperate lines.

Output

Pandoc version? 3.1.12.1

I had a little play with the notes and lists. Included below is the an XML Pretty Print showing the difference between a note list created by Powerpoint and one genereated by Pandoc.

On the right is the Powerpoint noteSlide file and the left contains Pandoc's output. It seems there are a couple of differences, yet the main difference is the Powerpoint is splitting entries on a whitespace or punctuation char and creating a multiple <a:r> tags with an <a:t> for each these "words"/character blocks inside the <a:p> tags.

I don't think it's likely that the splitting of a:r tags makes any difference here. But if you're curious you could try modifying the working one to see if it breaks when you remove these splits.

Yes, you are are correct.

I minimised the input to just look at ordered lists so the input is the following:

## Donec sagittis

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Vivamus nec urna vitae quam tristique pellentesque.

::: notes

1. Aenean eget dolor tortor.
2. Donec suscipit velit tortor

Then had a mess changing a few other things that were different between the two. The Pandoc generated list contains the body:

        <p:txBody>
          <a:bodyPr/>
          <a:lstStyle/>
          <a:p>
            <a:pPr lvl="0" indent="-457200" marL="457200">
              <a:buAutoNum type="arabicPeriod"/>
            </a:pPr>
            <a:r>
              <a:rPr/>
              <a:t>Aenean eget dolor tortor.</a:t>
            </a:r>
          </a:p>
          <a:p>
            <a:pPr lvl="0" indent="0" marL="0">
              <a:buNone/>
            </a:pPr>
          </a:p>
          <a:p>
            <a:pPr lvl="0" indent="-457200" marL="457200">
              <a:buAutoNum type="arabicPeriod"/>
            </a:pPr>
            <a:r>
              <a:rPr/>
              <a:t>Donec suscipit velit tortor</a:t>
            </a:r>
          </a:p>
        </p:txBody>

Does the following block end the list and create another?

          <a:p>
            <a:pPr lvl="0" indent="0" marL="0">
              <a:buNone/>
            </a:pPr>
          </a:p>

It is only now that I notice that in the generated Pandoc powerpoint there is a blank line between the two entries in the list

When the block is removed for an ordered list, it gives correct indicies with the following being displayed:
