Sounds pretty coherent to me,

However, I don't think I can use that in my case, I found some additional issues
and I'm thinking about changing the strategy completely, so it's not really
needed right now anymore.
So one idea would be that the plain text renderer handles the *raw blocks
depending on their syntax*: we first should make it render the 'plain text'
raw blocks, because it's supposed to know plain text and then we could think
about adding a HTML syntax handler which would strip out tags and only print
the text in the HTML (useful for my usecase above). Also other syntaxes
could be added if we think that it makes sense.
However, there isn't really a very good reason for which a PlaintextRenderer
would know about HTML. It really depends on how we define the purpose of the
plain text renderer.
I tough of it a little and i think we could have something like a
ContentCleaner (or ContentFilter, SyntaxFilter, RawFilter; RawCleaner,
...) component interface used by the plain text renderer to filter raw
block content. Then XHTML module provide an implementation of
ContentCleaner for xhtml. That would avoid having plain text renderer
strongly depends on any specific syntax and still able to support any
syntax which provide the right cleaner/filter.
WDYT?
Happy hacking,

Hi devs,
We need to decide what to do with html macro content (or any other
RawBlock content) in plain text renderer.
For me the rule of plain text renderer should be to print anything we
are able to print which mean printing any pure text content and skip
styles for which obviously we don't have syntax. RawBlock content is
pure text so we should print it.
Note that first version of plain text renderer was printing html
content and it was lost when introducing RawBlock.
Here is my +1 for printing RawBlock content in plain text renderer.
WDYT ?
