Ms Office Attachments As HTML Plugin

This is a plugin to convert attached MS Office files into HTML such that they appear inline in the topic text.

It means your users can edit in Word and publish on the Wiki.

Later we'd want to implement PageType

There is nothing specific that would make this only work with MS files. For example it could help with OpenOfficeIntegration

This plugin is looking for a new owner
