Hi all,
I am lacking some ideas as how to make it possible to insert some content into my site. Basically, the contents will be inserted by a non-technical person (probably only some knowledge with MS word).
So, I keep a text box for the link, and a textarea to insert the content of that link and hit submit. The content is being saved into the database.
With plain text, this is all fine. But, when the user wants to insert a doc file with all text style ( bold, ilatic, bullet list etc.) it is not helping.
So, i suggested that the user first convert his doc file as a htm file and then open that htm file with notepad and copy the entire html code and paste it into to textarea. That way, I am partially achiving what i intented for - bold, italic,bullets are appearing now on my page.
But they are not appearing as it is in doc file. Because, when the user save the doc file as htm, the htm file automatically creats some css.
Any better ideas, as how could I make it appear exactly as it is in a doc file?
many thanks in advance even for the smallest tips.
