Item688: HTML2TML conversion

In WYSIWYG mode, it's possible to keep HTML in tact using sticky. This is particularly handy when switching between WYSIWYG and raw modes. However, It's not quite practical for user may not know about sticky nor remember to use it.

I noticed that a elements do not get stripped, but div and span is stripped off when it doesn't have sticky wrapped. With my poor Perl skills, I've tried to dig in Plugins/WysiwygPlugin/HTML2TML.pm on what are the whitelisted elements. Is there any particular reason for not keeping all HTML tags in place in TML mode? Is there a new approach coming up?

HTML is converted to TML following an "as much as possible" approach. Since DIV and SPAN have no analog in TML, they are removed.

I wasn't planning any change to this approach. In fact, if I do anything it will be to remove TML as a storage representation completely and replace it with something that is capable to supporting all of HTML's syntax.

This isn't really a task, more a support question, so closing it.
