Para is a new experimental implementation by Aaron Watters. He was
not considering encodings when working on it and it would need to
be fixed up. Nobody has yet got around to merging these two
implementations,
I'm sorry.
As far as I am concerned, UL and OL should never be part of
a paragraph; I think HTML got this wrong, and numerous people
writing formatters complain about this. They are 'block level' constructs.
You will need a slightly smarter parser which sees the <ul> or <ol> and
ends the current paragraph; then creates an indent token; then outputs
a para with a 'bullet' style for each list item.
If you do manage to write a HTML-to-PDF converter than handles a useful
subset of HTML, we'd love to see a contribution though....
Thanks,
Andy Robinson

Hello, I'm new to Reportlab - so don't be very strict to me.
I'm trying to convert quite simple HTML into PDF using Paragraph and Para
and I have problems
with cyrillic fonts. After I register it by:
registerFont(TTFont('Courier','cour.ttf'))
registerFont(TTFont('Courier-Oblique','couri.ttf'))
registerFont(TTFont('Courier-Bold','courbd.ttf'))
registerFont(TTFont('Courier-BoldOblique','courbi.ttf'))
the Paragraph works properly, but when I use Para the document becomes a
mess.
Or tell me how can I make tags <ul> <ol> to be parsed using Paragraph.
Thanks in advance.
