HTML to Markdown is wrong for lists of lists

[martinratinaud]

As found in OpenTermsArchive/p2b-compliance-declarations#113

lists are translated incorrectly and give

6.  **chapter 6**.
    
    1.  **subchapter i**. looks ok ...
        
7.  **Chapter 7**. with no subchapter seems ok too
        
8.  **Chapter 8**.
    
    1.  **Entire Agreement**. still ok

9.  **Chapter 9**.
    
    1.  **Entire Agreement**. still ok

10.  **Chapter 10**.
    
    1.  **Entire Agreement**. not ok anymore
 
11.  **Chapter 11**.
    
    1.  **Entire Agreement**. not ok anymore

instead of

6.  **chapter 6**.
    
    1.  **subchapter i**. looks ok ...
        
7.  **Chapter 7**. with no subchapter seems ok too
        
8.  **Chapter 8**.
    
    1.  **Entire Agreement**. still ok

9.  **Chapter 9**.
    
    1.  **Entire Agreement**. still ok

10. **Chapter 10**.
    
    1.  **Entire Agreement**. not ok anymore
 
11. **Chapter 11**.
    
    1.  **Entire Agreement**. not ok anymore

(Note the additional space after 10. and 11.

I just tested the update of turndown and also this PR mixmark-io/turndown#358

but it does not work, we will have either to

• switch library (which might generate new versions on many documents if some other changes exist)
• fix this abandoned library

Let's discuss on next planif

[martinratinaud]

I reopen as it won't be fixed until this fork is actually included into the core

According to mixmark-io/turndown#419 (comment), it is very unlikely OpenTermsArchive/turndown#2 will ever be merged into upstream.

The alternative suggested by the library author is to use a custom rule. This would indeed be a more perennial approach than maintaining our own fork.

[MattiSG]

The issue described has been fixed in #943, the technical improvement to make this fix perennial is now described in #1019.
