    I don't know how the other developers feel about this
    problem but I'd rather we export lists as true lists
    and have problems getting the numbering style or
    bullet symbols correct than exporting them as tables
    or anything else to make them look right.
    Then again I can't play with it so that might not even
    be the real problem...

    Andrew.
