Recognizing Headings/Automatic Enumeration with .docx Reader

[simonvincenthk]

Hello,

I am building an application to convert technical documentation from .docx to .md, for which I need to preserve headings in the conversion.

The headings in my input files (.docx) are not always marked as headings with MS Word's styles:

Accordingly, they cannot be recognized as headings by pandoc's .docx reader.

I'd like to build a work-around by reading and and writing the input files' automatic heading numbers and post processing it with a custom python script; however, pandoc's .docx reader doesn't appear to have an option to read automatic enumeration:

Pandoc User's Guide > Options

I'm wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to read automatic enumeration with pandoc's .docx reader, or if they have any other ideas to recognize titles that were not marked as headings with MS Woprd's styles?

Best regards, Simon
