Where can I find the legal style elements that can be rendered in xwiki 2.0

I mean like text-align, color and so and so ?
If we have such a comprehensive list, then we can simply rip off everything
else! I mean, what is not possible to be rendered should not be kept ...
In this case, I don't see a requirement of presenting a choice to the user,
isn't it ?
Thanks.

Hi Devs,
When converting office documents into html (before they are transformed
into
xwiki syntax) lots of style information gets
added into the html. For an
example :
<p class="western">Text in a <sup><span
style="color:;font-family=;font-size=2pt;">superscript</span></sup>format</p>
And finally when this is transformed into xwiki syntax, the result will
look
something like :
(% class="western" %)
Text in a ^^(% style="color:;font-family=;font-size=2pt;"
%)superscript^^(%%) format
The problem with this is, the resulting xwiki document will have lot's of
(%%) elements which makes it difficult to make modifications in wiki
mode.
And another argument is that content is more
important than style
(vincent).
So, there are three options :
1. Rip off style information.
What is expressible with wiki markup should be kept (headings, bold,
superscript...). No font information, please. 2. Keep style information as it is.
3. Give the user an option to select between 1 and 2.
I'm going with 3. :)
+1 for 3.
WDYT ?
Thanks.
