Lineblocks in MS output should start with .LP instead .PP

[tkurtbond]

Lineblocks in MS output frequently (maybe always?) start with a .PP, resulting in the first line of the lineblock being indented, which seems against the purpose of the lineblock. Can a .LP always be output instead? That way the first line would not be indented.

Thank you for submitting a bug report. However, we cannot improve pandoc or help you unless you give us all of the following information:

• the pandoc version (check using pandoc -v and try to reproduce the bug with the latest released version of pandoc, or even better: the development version or nightly build.)
• the exact command line used
• the exact input used
• the output received
• the output you expected instead

A small test case (just a few lines) is ideal. If your input is large, try to whittle it down to a minimum working example. (For binary input formats like docx, you should attach the minimum sample file.)

Finally, ask questions on pandoc-discuss and read the User's Guide.

.LP

.PP

.br
which will probably be indented,
.br

Notice that the lineblock begins with a .PP, resulting in an indented first line. It should use a .LP, which would result in a non-indented first line.
