Public bug reported:

Hello...

I'm using Mahara 1.8.0 downloaded from mahara.org on Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS
with postgresql 9.1.

My question involves embedded media and exporting to html. I've found
that certain kinds of content -- in particular those that rely on
javascript to be displayed properly in the browser -- are not rendered
properly in an exported portfolio. For example, embedded PDFs, videos,
and image slideshows do not work. The content itself is included in the
exported site, but none of the enabling javascript is.

I assume this is by design, but I am wondering the reason for it.

Why it matters to us: We're considering ways that we could do long-term
archiving of portfolios and thought perhaps the html export would give
us a way to do that.

Thanks for any feedback.
