List Items Aren't Represented in HTML

[mjones517]

I'm trying to generate documents with list items. I need to create an HTML and a DOCX version of the file.

Here's a simplified version of my code:

     // Pull in document generation library
require_once 'extensions/PhpWord/Autoloader.php';
\PhpOffice\PhpWord\Autoloader::register();

// Create new document...
$phpWord = new \PhpOffice\PhpWord\PhpWord();

// Adding an empty Section to the document...
$section = $phpWord->addSection();

    // Create List
    $section->addText(htmlspecialchars('List Header'), $fontSectionHead);
$section->addListItem(htmlspecialchars('List Item 1'), 0, $fontListItem);
$section->addListItem(htmlspecialchars('List Item 2'), 0, $fontListItem);
$section->addListItem(htmlspecialchars('Second Level List Item 1t'), 1, $fontListItem);

    // Saving the document as OOXML file...
   $objWriter = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::createWriter($phpWord, 'Word2007');
   $objWriter->save('helloWorld.docx');

   // Saving the document as HTML file...
  $objWriter = \PhpOffice\PhpWord\IOFactory::createWriter($phpWord, 'HTML');
  $objWriter->save('helloWorld.html');

I would expect the HTML version to have ul and li tags. Instead each item is listed on a new line with just a paragraph tag. Is this a bug? Or am I missing something that needs to happen to make this work correctly?
