#1279: convert non-text field notes to html and add to fieldnotes.makingandknowing

opened by njr2128

1199 dealt with all docx/gdoc files and their embedded media of FA18 field notes.

all other file types (including gslides/powerpoint, gsheets/xlsx, etc) were not carried over.

Need to develop workflow for conversion to html and deployment

Need to investigate tools and target forms for the migration for these filetypes. @njr2128 could you provide a list of these non-textual files (including filename extensions or filetypes. Big question is: do we need to migrate these to html or could they be linked in their original format? Im assuming the paths are:

Spreadsheets => HTML Presentations => PDF/A

For archival process - spreadsheets:

If want presentation - convert to tables in docs (and then to html)
If want data - convert to csv and provide as download
