Ordered / unordered lists not appearing correctly in downloaded digital document

Aspose.Words Product Family

having an issue with ordered lists after merging html files with Aspose.Words version 22.9.0.0 for C#.
The first list is fine but all the lists after it will lose their list-style-type value and instead keep the one that was defined in the first list.

The merge is being done via the Document.AppendDocument() method.

Attaching an example of 3 lists with different list-style-type values and the result of merging them.

@PTDLPPLRunTeam Please try using ImportFormatOptions.KeepSourceNumbering to get the desired output:

Document doc1 = new Document(@"C:\Temp\list1.html");
Document doc2 = new Document(@"C:\Temp\list2.html");
Document doc3 = new Document(@"C:\Temp\list3.html");

ImportFormatOptions opt = new ImportFormatOptions() { KeepSourceNumbering = true };
doc1.AppendDocument(doc2, ImportFormatMode.KeepSourceFormatting, opt);
doc1.AppendDocument(doc3, ImportFormatMode.KeepSourceFormatting, opt);

doc1.Save(@"C:\Temp\out.docx");
