Hi Vincent,
I for one prefer removing the paragraph. For me, this is clearly an OO
shortcoming. Vincent, the idea is not about paragraphs inside table
cells in general, but about this particular paragraph that obviously
shouldn't be there. The HTML generated by OO is just an intermediary,
we're not interested in keeping it as much as possible in the wiki, we
just want to extract the data from it and convert it to wiki syntax. The
Office importer transforms office documents to wiki documents, and not
HTML to wiki. OO wrongly puts paragraphs in there, and the fact that the
same HTML looks much different in a browser than the document looks in
OO is a good enough argument, IMO.

But the story
It's very valid to have <p> elements inside table cells. But my point is
this:
The original word document when viewed through _oo writer_ displays content
within table cells with a particular size. But when saved as html and viewed
from a browser, the same table cell becomes enlarged. And this is because
there is a paragraph element inside each table cell element generated by oo
html generator.
Now, since we wanted officeimporter to generate wiki content that would
ultimately render an output which looks close to the original document, i
decided to strip the paragraph element (to make it look smaller and close to
the sizing of original document rendered in oo writer)
But if it's only a matter of convension (wiki is wiki, office is office) and
the paragraph should be left alone I can make that chage easily.
WDYT?
is different for OO generated html which puts a
paragraph element
when there
shouldn't be one.
I don't agree since it's very valid to have
<p> inside cells and not a
OO problem.
