Explain the problem

In Microsoft Word (DOCX), when starting a new heading (in this specific case: Heading 4), make an ordered list (or numbered list). Definitely, the starting number is reset expectedly. But when converting from DOCX to Markdown, using Pandoc, the numbered list keeps continuing, i.e. keep increasing across headings! This is unexpected.

Expectation: When a new heading starts, the ordered list should be reset (in Markdown). This is to keep it consistent with the DOCX version.
