Bulleted list not being rendered as unordered list in HTML output

I have a document (attached), and when I save it as an HTML document, the bulleted list comes out as paragraph tags, not an unordered list as expected. Any ideas?

Expected Output:

<ul>
    <li>Bullet list item 1</li>
    <li>Bullet list item 2</li>
    <li>Bullet list item 3</li>
</ul>

Actual Output:

<p>●        Bullet list item 1</p>
<p>●        Bullet list item 2</p>
<p>●        Bullet list item 3</p>

Sample code (Scala, not Java):

val options = new HtmlSaveOptions(SaveFormat.HTML)
options.setImagesFolder(imageDir.getPath)
options.setImagesFolderAlias(*"…/folder"*)
options.setUseAntiAliasing(true)
options.setUseHighQualityRendering(true)
options.setScaleImageToShapeSize(false)
options.setImageSavingCallback(FilenameSanitizingSavingCallback)
options.setExportOriginalUrlForLinkedImages(true)

for {
  // Load the document.
  asposeDoc <- Try(new AsposeDocument(file.getAbsolutePath))
  // Convert to HTML.
  _ <- Try(asposeDoc.save(htmlFile.getAbsolutePath, options))
} yield FileConversionResult(htmlFile, getSeqOfImages(imageDir.getPath))

Hi Jeremy,

Thanks for your inquiry. Please use HtmlSaveOptions.ExportListLabels property as ExportListLabels.BY_HTML_TAGS to get the required output. ExportListLabels.BY_HTML_TAGS outputs all list labels as HTML native elements.

Please let us know if you have any more queries.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "in.docx");
HtmlSaveOptions options = new HtmlSaveOptions(SaveFormat.HTML);
options.setExportOriginalUrlForLinkedImages(true);
doc.save(MyDir + "Out.html", options);
