Description Mark Fortner

Build ID: 3.3

Steps To Reproduce:
It would be very useful if it were possible to export a query out as HTML.  Typically we would use this to generate a weekly report showing the tasks that have been accomplished this week, and the tasks scheduled for next week.

It would also be useful if there was support for exporting as GanttProject XML files, or Microsoft Project XML files.  This would make it easier for project managers to sync projects with work as it's being done.

This might be accomplished by allowing the user to register XSLTs as exporters.  But some default XSLTs to handle the first use case would be helpful.

Try the following and let me know if it meets some of your needs
* Right click query, Open with Browser
* Copy the results, on Windows this will result in HTMl formatting being copied
* Paste into HTML or rich text aware editor

The additional export to XML is currently out of scope for Mylyn, but we could consider contributions and it would be good to know more about how this should work.  Could you provide pointers or any documentation for tools that either produce or consume this XML format?

This works only for server-based repositories and doesn't work if you're using local tasks.  

I could see this being very useful for organizing user stories, and requirements.  Given that most of what you need is already in Mylyn's XML format, all that would really be needed would be a way of associating XSLTs with Mylyn so that users could transform their stories into whatever documentation format they wanted.

Mylyn has been restructured, and our issue tracking has moved to GitHub [1].

We are closing ~14K Bugzilla issues to give the new team a fresh start. If you feel that this issue is still relevant, please create a new one on GitHub.
