Unordered list in paragraph with custom style including numbering cannot be retrieved properly ? #141

Closed yldoctrine closed 7 months ago

Hello, thanks for your work !

I have an issue with a docx that comes with a custom style that includes some numbering rules. In the docx there are some paragraphs with this style that contains some unordered lists. When I try to convert to html, the unordered list gets merged into the ordered list of the paragraph

I use the following style_map

p:unordered-list(1) => ul > li:fresh p:ordered-list(1) => ol > li:fresh

Here are some example files to reproduce the issue ordered_list.docx ordered_list.txt expected_ordered_list.txt

Inside the docx, in the numbering.xml I found the following which I think explains the problem

<--- This seems to be the problem <--- this as well

Then in the library's code we end up here, applying the "level" of the style and loose the list in the document https://github.com/mwilliamson/python-mammoth/blob/master/mammoth/docx/body_xml.py#L242

I'm not sure on how to fix this, thanks for your insight on this issue

Running on Python 3.10 on MacOS Sonoma 14.3.1

Hmm, it's probably the case that the precedence is the wrong way round: numbering properties applied directly to a paragraph should supersede those applied to the paragraph style.

This should now be fixed in 1.7.1.
