[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Stop supporting export to RTF without an open office server
Hi, Our RTF export has never been very good and is even crashing depending on the reader you use (see for example http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-5251 ). I propose to drop the RTF support without OO Rationale: * If a user really needs it he can make it work with an OO server connected to xwiki * RTF is not really a mainstream format * I don’t think we want to invest in fixing our RTF export Here’s my +1 Thanks -Vincent

+1. FOP developers don't have the time or desire to maintain the RTF output, so it's unlikely to improve. RTF is a limited format. On the other hand it is the only editable file format that XWiki can provide standalone. Some users do like the ability to get out a document they can edit, but I guess it's OK to only expose this feature when an OO backend is configured. On 01/30/2014 08:34 AM, [email protected] wrote:

Hello, I remember wanting to propose this 2 years ago, but I can't remember why I didn't do it exactly :) So, here is my +1 Regards, Sorin B. On Thu, Jan 30, 2014 at 4:06 PM, Sergiu Dumitriu <[email protected]> wrote:
