+1 to remove it and +1 to have the default be "no style filter". Contrary to Guillaume I think this is what users will expect and since most users will use the wysiwyg editor edit pages it won't matter at all if the wiki syntax is clean or not for them. What will matter to them though is that the images are the right sizes and that they have to resize them manually when they import a document, that the alignments are the same, etc. Thanks -Vincent http://xwiki.com http://xwiki.org http://massol.net _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
