As an example, the function above converts the following:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* One
** Two
*** Three
**** Four
***** Five
****** Six
******* Seven
****** Six
***** Five
**** Four
*** Three
** Two
* One
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
To this:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* One
** Two
- Three
- Four
- Five
- Six
- Seven
- Six
- Five
- Four
- Three
** Two
* One
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Best,
Matt
