Nbconvert: <ol> start value not preserved when converting to HTML

[mwsmws22]

I have an ordered list that spans multiple cells in a Jupyter Notebook. While it's listed just fine in Jupyter (e.g. 1,2,3,4...) when I export to HTML each list item starts at one (e.g. 1, 1, 1, 1...). I looked into a little and it seems the "start" value for the ol in Jupyter isn't being preserved when I convert. See this screenshot:

I am running the latest version of nbconvert. Just installed it.

I don't know if this is a bug, or if there's an easy fix, but I thought I'd put it out there. Thanks!

This is actually an issue in the Markdown parser mistune. I filed lepture/mistune#206 for this.

Apparently mistune has been rewritten from scratch and the rewrite addresses this, but there is no release yet.

mistune has 2.0.0 pre-releases out, if you want to look into this.

I believe @lepture had mentioned in #1074 that they'd be interested in patching nbconvert for the new API.
