Anyone written an MS word/javascript macro to convert

the code of the page out into word, where ==Level 2== would be
converted into the Heading 2 format and so forth. It might even be
able to embed images within the article.
Then, when you were finished editing, it could convert it all back again.
Stupid idea? :)

Well, not really stupid, as we had people trying to upload Word documents
but complicated.
Word is a propietary format. Data is quite binary and there's no public
specification. The format has more-or-less been reversed so prograsm as
OpenOffice or AbiWord can work with it, but there're still issues, specially
the embedded objects (images, equations...).
Maybe it could be done with RTF.
Easier of course with OpenDocument

BTW Magnus, your page says it's able to export to PDF but there's not such
option in the tool. I think you used the XML export to then PDF it but i
found no references about how to do it. Maybe you should explain it at the
page.
