Export text with font-size attribute to get a bigger text
Hello,
as you know initially there isn't any way to create bigger text in Confluence unless you use HeadingsX. But of course sometimes you don't want to create a new heading.
So what you do? Create an user macro like this
<span style="font-size:$param1px">$body</span>
Well, of course on Confluence you see that text bigger, but when exporting to Word using Scroll Office that text is just a normal text.
I think it shouldn't be so difficult to check if there is a font-size attribute and export this text with the given font-size.
I think this would be great when outputting text to Word.
Maybe you can even create your own macro to get this bigger sized text.
Is there any plan of implementing this? Or am I missing something to get this result?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Andres,
this might look trivial, but it is not: Scroll Office create a intermediary "meta model" of the content which is converted into Word. This meta model is semantic and has no information about the formatting in Confluence. Also, we don't want to create full support for CSS and map that Word.
I think we will move into the direction to copy css class information to the meta model and use that information to apply paragraphs or character styles in word.
Cheers,

Ok I understand. Is just that usually when writing directly a Word document, when you want to stand out a sentence you use a bigger font or something like this and I'm missing this functionality.
I know, I can post process the word document afterwards, but when the document is quite long it takes some time to find the document parts you want to change and don't miss any.
