Yeah, it has to be XHTML for us to import it. Other than tables,frames and
links, it supports *almost all* of the HTML formatting tags, including
properly handling <font> (i.e. we can import a lot more tags than we
currently export, but sam's exporter chose to use CSS inside of <span> tags
to make his life easier and i don't blame him). Of course we don't handle
CSS or ECMAScript, but that's unavoidable. And yes, we import abi-exported
XHTML without losing any formatting information.
WML import/export handles every WML 1.1 textual markup tag and gracefully
ignores the rest. This is useful for viewing say, MSWord documents on
Web-phones, Palm/Handsprings, and WinCE.
Docbook import is by no means perfect, but we import what we export just
fine.
