Description

Creating a page in MMDE using the GUI editor and pasting a spreadsheet from Excel gives you an expat error.

ExpatError: unbound prefix: line 376, column 1875 (see dump in C:\Programmi\vari\moinmonwiki\MMDE\wiki\data\expaterror.log)

Your task is to reproduce the problem using the 1.6 branch. Find out the (minimal) html causing the problem. Find other, similar stuff causing the same problem (e.g. paste from word or try different office versions).

This task needs about 10h and has to be completed within 7 days.

Workaround

Currently I have a patch up at http://code.google.com/p/google-highly-open-participation-moinmoin/issues/detail?id=48 that has been tested with Office 2003. If other people could try and paste at http://cb22.za.net/wiki/TestPage in GUI mode with different versions of Office, it would be much appreciated. I've asked some people to test my above mentioned patch, and it works for both Office 2007 on a PC and Office 2008 on a Mac.

Discussion

We need the html you wanted to convert (the gui editor edits html, sends it back to moin and moin has to convert it to wiki markup). Even better would be a minimal case when this happens, so that we see which tag is problematic. FCKeditor has some "paste from word" function - did you use that? It cleans the html rubbish it gets from MS apps.
