I'd also be interested in learning how to do this for an unordered list too.\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/johnzupancic","@type":"Person","name":"johnzupancic"},"datePublished":"2015-10-16T03:23:32.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":6},"url":"https://github.com/217/python-docx/issues/217"}
