[opencms-dev] Cleaning paste from word document - Re-configure jTidy

[Olli Aro]

Thanks Matt,

I seems you are right. I found an online tool using htmltidy
(http://infohound.net/tidy/). It seems the Word 2000 setting does remove
some of the MS Word formatting, but not all of it.

HtmlArea looks very interesting and has other useful features as well such
as a spell check facility. However, I would still need jtidy working as
well - I would like to ensure that all WYSIWYG produced code is in xhtml and
know jtidy definetely would be able to do this.

Regards,

Olli
