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.
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. - Asiri
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.
