Converting an html document to MediaWiki resulted in huge letters in my Wiki
page. Doing some research, I noticed that <span> tags in the html source
were converted to <font> tags in MediaWiki markup.
The MediaWiki documentation states that the font tag has been deprecated in
favor of span, so I reckon this translation should be removed.
Also, <font> tags like <font size="8.0pt"> are not proper html. Html
supports size form 1 to 7.
================================ Input:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<meta name=Generator content="Microsoft Word 11 (filtered)">
<title>Quality Manual</title>
</head>
<body lang=EN-US link=blue vlink=purple style='text-justify-
trim:punctuation'>
<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoTitle><span style='font-size:40.0pt;font-family:"Arial
Narrow"'>The
Test Header</span></p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
================================ Result:
<div class="Section1">
<font face=""Arial Narrow""><font size="40.0pt">The Test
Header</font></font>
</div>
