Similarly to uploading (#216).

The straightforward fix would be to offer downloading files in the format they're in, in addition to "print to pdf" which browsers offer (#206).

Additionally, we could offer some conversions. If we switch to WebODF (#189) as the default editor, Microsoft Word supports that too so converting isn't too important, I think. If we don't, (or maybe anyway) we should offer html -> odt/docx conversion.

we should offer html -> odt/docx conversion.

The difficulty is that there are practically no usable client-side parsers for these formats. That is why we don't have support for them yet.

That's unfortunate. For this particular issue we "need" to create them though, not parse them.

Converting one way, from html to odt/docx is significantly simpler than parsing odt/docx to be edited, but it will still take a bit of time to implement.
