HTML-to-gfm reader does not interpret type attribute on <ol>

[ppKrauss]

Using pandoc v2.2.2, it seems the same old bug reported at issue #2313

The problem can be reproduced by

pandoc -f html -t gfm << EOT
<ol type="1">
<li>One</li>
<li>Two</li>
<li>Three</li>
</ol>
<ol type="I">
<li>One</li>
<li>Two</li>
<li>Three</li>
</ol>
<ol type="i">
<li>One</li>
<li>Two</li>
<li>Three</li>
</ol>
<ol type="A">
<li>One</li>
<li>Two</li>
<li>Three</li>
</ol>
<ol type="a">
<li>One</li>
<li>Two</li>
<li>Three</li>
</ol>
EOT

The result is a bug, all as type="1".

The HTML reader actually parses this fine. But since github markdown doesn't support those kinds of lists, the gfm and markdown_github output formats fall back to normal lists.

Try -t markdown instead and it works as you want, since there the fancy_lists extension is enabled (or -t markdown_github+fancy_lists).
