Word-to-DITA conversion with AI Positron

I am using AI Positron to convert some Word documentation to DITA. This works, but there is also the risk of data loss. The Markdown format created from Word only supports simple tables and simple lists. Content from nested lists, for example, simply isn't there. The LLM will use the incomplete Markdown without reporting any missing content. Isn't there a way to change this?

Hi,
AI is good for doing many things, but just because something can be done with AI, it does not necesarily mean that's the ideal way. For converting Word to DITA you could for example use our Batch Documents Converter add-on:

Let us know what you think about this approach and what you think about the conversions.
All the best,
