DocBook input: simplelist not recognized at block level

[roberth]

Explain the problem.

<simplelist> can occur both in an inline context or on a block context (assuming chapter is a good example of a container of blocks and para is one of inline elements). See https://tdg.docbook.org/tdg/5.1/simplelist.html

When it occurs in a chapter, it is not recognized, pandoc logs

[INFO] Ignored element simplelist
[INFO] Ignored element member
[INFO] Ignored element link

where member and link are descendants of simplelist.

It renders the combined inner text as plain text.

Fixing simplelist specifically seems quite simple; adding a line to parseBlock.

I do not know if similar problems also exist.

Workaround

  <xsl:template match="db:simplelist">
    <para>
      <xsl:copy>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
      </xsl:copy>
    </para>
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match="@*|node()">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

Pandoc version?

2.17.1.1
