Hi all. I am not a programmer, but have found Org-mode useful for editing course lessons.
I, blind myself, teach other blind people how to use technology and software, along with my supervisor and quite a few others. We have many courses on the use of Microsoft Office, Gmail, Internet basics, and so on. These courses are handled by Moodle, which accepts HTML and Markdown formatted text. Why it doesn’t use Org-mode, which is superior to Markdown in every way, is beyond me.
So, these course lessons are awfully malformed HTML. Empty <p> tags, misused things litter these files, and “middle dot” characters are used instead of <li> elements.
I’ve taken it upon myself to clean all this up, and Org-mode does it all. The only problem is, when I convert from HTML to Org-mode using Pandoc, just doing:
Pandoc -I lesson1.html -o lesson1.org <http://lesson1.org/>
The lists are not made into indented ones, just a paragraph, which I manually have to indent, marking the lines below the list marker line, and doing C-x C-I, then indenting 3 or four spaces, then filling the paragraph just to make sure.
Is there anything I can do to make this less tedious?
Other than all that, Org-mode does amazingly for everything I’ve used it for, so thanks so much for all who, knowing much more than I do about code, work on Org-mode, and Emacs in general.

Thank you, I have learned about Moodle as resource for teaching.

Please send the file lesson1.html for review, and if I find right
workflow for you, I will tell you how I have done that.
Regarding moodle, I would make lessons in Emacs, and people would
accessing them from Emacs to the central database and answering it
that way. But that is my opinion, browsers are by opinion of other
people more practical.

If you're using Pandoc to convert html to org, then you should
probably ask on the Pandoc mailing list:
