Tables inside a bullet list result in a corrupt docx file

[10types]

This is:

• a bug report
• a feature request
• not a usage question (ask them on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/phpword)

Expected Behavior

Creating a table inside a bullet list is valid HTML and valid docx behaviour. In HTML it results in a bullet next to the table. In Word it results in an empty line with the bullet, then the table indented below.

Current Behavior

The XML created looks like it should work, but instead it creates a docx file that refuses to open as it is considered corrupt.

Failure Information

"Unspecified error. Location: Part: /word/document.xml, Line: 0, Column: 0"

How to Reproduce

Feed the following into PHPOffice:

<ul>
<li>I'm a bullet</li>
<li><table><tr><td>I'm a cell</td></tr></table></li>
<li>I'm a bullet</li>
</ul>

Context

• PHP version:
• PHPWord version: 0.14
