Where can I find the legal style elements that can be rendered in xwiki 2.0
?

I mean like text-align, color and so and so ?

If we have such a comprehensive list, then we can simply rip off everything
else! I mean, what is not possible to be rendered should not be kept ...

In this case, I don't see a requirement of presenting a choice to the user,
isn't it ?

Thanks.
