  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. 
 I'd be in favour of removing parameters that do not directly
 translate into
 XWiki 2.0 syntax items in all cases (otherwise imported documents
 will not
 have a consistent look across the wiki).
