[Bug 1119711] New: 2nd and 3rd level bulleted lists do not get a proper bullet symbol

[Red Hat Bugzilla]

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1119711

            Bug ID: 1119711
           Summary: 2nd and 3rd level bulleted lists do not get a proper
                    bullet symbol
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 20
         Component: pandoc
          Assignee: petersen(a)redhat.com
          Reporter: bexelbie(a)redhat.com
        QA Contact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org

Created attachment 918117
  --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=918117&action=edit
Picture of the broken bullets in Libre Office Writer

Description of problem:

When converting to ODT from Markdown and HTML, second and third level bullets
in a bulleted list are the "missing symbol" symbol.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

On Fedora 20:
  pandoc 1.12.3.3
  Compiled with texmath 0.6.6.1, highlighting-kate 0.5.6.


How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create this markdown document

foo.md
--
* Level 1 OK
    * Level 2 broken
        * Level 3 broken
            * Level 4 OK
--

2. Execute:

pandoc -f markdown -t odt -o foo.odt foo.md

3. Open foo.odt in Libre Office Writer

Actual results:

Messed up bullets (see image)

Expected results:

Proper Bullets

Additional info:

This does not seem to be a problem with reference.odt.  The style settings
there all appear OK.  My best guess is that pandoc is forcing either a font or
bullet symbol that isn't shipped on Fedora and is overriding the default
styling in reference.odt.

Thanks for the report.

I suggest also reporting this to upstream: either to the google group
or in the github issue tracker, and then let's see what upstream says.

Also it would be interesting to know what symbol/glyph is being used...
You could try dragging/copy'n'pasting the char to gucharmap for example
to find out.

A bit more clarity was posted in https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/1400

Github didn't notify me of the update and I missed it before today.  It appears
that there is a forced font.

I am going to close this and try to engage upstream.

The missing character is U+2023 TRIANGULAR BULLET.

I agree it seems to be a font issue.

But you're right, the liststyles seems to be generated by pandoc:

./Text/Pandoc/Writers/OpenDocument.hs:193:      automaticStyles =
inTagsIndented "office:automatic-styles" $ vcat $
./Text/Pandoc/Writers/OpenDocument.hs:196:              $ defField
"automatic-styles" (render' automaticStyles)

The github issue is running dry again.  It appears the code was developed by
someone who doesn't really monitor the project as a whole.

I don't know enough about ODT, but are we guaranteed any styles in an ODT file?
 In otherwords, could we switch the code to use a list format we are positive
will always be there?  I found where the styles are getting injected, but there
is no check to see if they are duplicates.

--- Comment #6 from Jens Petersen <petersen(a)redhat.com&gt; ---
IMO pandoc should generate ODT that uses the default ODT style by default.
How does one specify a template file with pandoc?
I would need to stare at the code for a while to get any idea
how this could be fixed though maybe it is better we move
the discussion to the upstream bug.

I would prefer if pandoc only injected automatic-styles if
overriding the ODT defaults.

I don't have time to look at this right now but I think I will re-open
to try to revisit this later.  It may be a few months though...
Of course if someone can come up with a patch first then that
is most welcome too.

--- Comment #7 from Brian (bex) Exelbierd <bexelbie(a)redhat.com&gt; ---
There is a flag --reference-odt=filename.odt to call the reference file.

I did a bit more digging in the code and I believe the following to be true:

the ODT.hs writer opens the reference.odt and puts it verbatim into the output.
 It doesn't parse it or look to see if there are styles it can use.

It also doesn't appear that OpenDocument defines default styles or style names.
 It appears this is all implementation dependent.  Therefore, the fact that I
have a bullet list defined in my reference.odt isn't being considered.  It
seems the way to fix this is to do one of the following (rough ideas):

1) Search the odt styles and figure out if there is a bullet list.  If so, pick
one and use it.  If not create our own default, ideally with bullets we can
reasonably guarantee to exist.

2) Do something like the reST (reStructuredText) converter does and specify
what styles will be used.  Those can then be defined in the shipped
reference.odt and supplied in a user provided reference.odt.  You can see their
documentation here:
http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/odt.html#list-styles  I don't know
that it is necessary to go further with allowing those names to be overriden.

Today's standard of using some LO style names and then defining custom lists
seems to be a weird hybrid.

Lastly, it appears that bulletListToOpenDocument in the OpenDocument.hs writer
is creating a new list style for each level of indention. This seems to
indicate that listhandling may need to be refactored.

I realize you aren't going to work on it immediately, but I wanted to add these
thoughts in case they help later.

--- Comment #8 from Fedora End Of Life <endoflife(a)fedoraproject.org&gt; ---
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Fedora 26 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-05-29. Fedora 26
is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any
further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
