LaTeX -> Markdown Nested Enumerate Broken

[rjturner]

I am converting LaTeX to Markdown, and I found that nested enumerated lists do not correctly change the enumeration label from arabic to lowercase as done by LaTeX.

My input is test.tex:

\begin{enumerate}
    \item Item 1.
        \begin{enumerate}
            \item Item (a)
            \item Item (b)
        \end{enumerate}
    \item Item 2.
\end{enumerate}

Running pandoc -f latex -t markdown test.tex yields:

1.  Item 1.

    1.  Item (a)

    2.  Item (b)

2.  Item 2.

The sublist should be labeled with (a) and (b), not 1. and 2.

I hesitated to report this but then remembered that LaTeX to Markdown conversion is probably an uncommon use case (the analogous Markdown to LaTeX case works beautifully). Further, I could not find any reference to it in past issues.

I suppose this could be handled at the level of the LaTeX reader, which could try to assign list styles to sublists in a way that matches LaTeX's (NB. overridable) defaults.
