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
