Model to model tansformation framework should provide mechanisms for getting plain text from rich text valued features

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

The M2M transformation framework should provide mechanisms for getting plain text from rich text valued features. For example, maybe it is possible to instrument the implementation of the Move mapping to detect rich text and then convert to plain text if detected - or maybe it is possible to add a new mapping type for rich to plain text. This is a scenario where rich text support in the model broke M2M transformation output - when generating an XML file, the rich text tags caused problems.

    A new mapping type 'Move plain text' has been added to remove rich text formatting from source model features. In addition, when mapping models are validated, and Move from a feature known to be capable of containing rich text to a feature not know to contain rich text will result in a warning. The warning advises the user that the Move may result in undesirable HTML formating, and that the 'Move plain text' option is available.
