Description

### Bug
Testing a simple PDF with some lists and links, the converted markdown doesn't preserve them

### Steps to reproduce
`docling test_docling.pdf`
See the generated markdown. It doesn't preserve lists, links and styling information (like bold, italic) which might be important information for LLMs
