you cannot, in this example. The style of bulleted lists is determined
by the stylesheet. A `list' in Jade output is simply a sequence of
paragraphics, and JadeTeX cannot reconstruct the fact that it started
life as a bulleted list.
you might be happier writing an XML to LaTeX converter.. (easy enough,
in DSSSL or XSLT)
