Using today's existing document technologies in Word, PowerPoint, and InDesign, that's not possible because the graphic will be a <FIGURE> tag. It would be extremely difficult and time consuming to try and get the graphics aligned into List tags, if at all.

In HTML, you could code CSS to box certain elements and position them, but the vertical connection lines aren't doable.

So, I doubt our current toolboxes can do this, however, I do see some emerging technologies on the horizon that might make this possible in a few years.

Wouldn't it be feasible to tag a graphically presented org chart as a nested list structure?
