+1 to remove Moderate filtering level. +1 for having Strict as the default filtering level (I'm thinking that we should educate our users and make them understand that most of the time office content is not suited as it is for web)
One thing worth to be mentioned is that with 'strict' filtering we currently filter out image widths, heights, alignments and such (basically anything
that requires (%%) in wiki code) This means if a user imports a document
You said:
"Strict: Remove all the styles presented in the original document except for those that can be mapped directly into xwiki syntax"
Isn't (%%) xwiki syntax? I think so.
Well in that case we should not strip any styles at all... I mean everything possible in xhtml can be represented in xwiki code. The problem with (%%) is that when there are so many of them (when there are so many styles / parameters set in the original office content) it's really hard to read the generated wiki code (it's a mess). That's why we filter those stuff that require (%%) in wiki code, to keep it clean... By "mapping directly into xwiki syntax" I meant those styles that do not require additional parameters (%%). For an example, bold, italic etc. etc. So 'strict filtering' --> no (%%) Thanks. - Asiri
containing a lot of scaled-down / precisely-aligned images (or other stuff) the output would look pretty screwed without the styles. And this might not give the user a good impression about the officeimporter application.
Rather, if keep the 'no style filter' as the default, a default import would at least be close to the original document. And the user will _have_ to set the 'strict' filtering mode knowing what he is doing (thus the result is acceptable).
This is only my POV.
Thanks.
