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.
