Hi devs, my need of the plain text renderer is to produce a formatting/tags free version of an XWiki document, something like "what the user sees in the html version but without the tags".
So one idea would be that the plain text renderer handles the *raw blocks depending on their syntax*: we first should make it render the 'plain text' raw blocks, because it's supposed to know plain text and then we could think about adding a HTML syntax handler which would strip out tags and only print the text in the HTML (useful for my usecase above). Also other syntaxes could be added if we think that it makes sense. However, there isn't really a very good reason for which a PlaintextRenderer would know about HTML. It really depends on how we define the purpose of the plain text renderer. WDYT?
