[phpslash-users] easy markup of postings

[Peter T. <pte...@te...>]

Dear all,

End users of my phpslash environment expressed the need for an easy method 
of marking up their postings. They don't see it as particularly 
user-friendly doing the html markup to the articles by hand. They can 
handle <b> <i> and <u> tags, but it is too complex already when they need a 
bulleted list or a link. They also want an easy way of adding graphics to 
their articles.

Since most end-users are familiar with MSWord and use this little program 
on their desktops, it could be a nice solution to let them do the editing 
in Word. Conversion software should be able to pick up the edited file and 
convert it to proper HTML, graphics included.

I'd like to know if anyone knows (opensource) conversion programs that can 
do this job properly.
I checked wvWare, which does a reasonable job. Unfortunately, it doesn't 
seem to handle the graphics in the file in a correct way.

All suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,
Peter Termaten
