+1 for 3 with the default being not to import styles.
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.
2. Keep style information as it is.
3. Give the user an option to select between 1 and 2.
I'm going with 3. :)
WDYT ?
Thanks.
