Can you provide more detail? Are there test documents that fail, or bugs
related to this item?

I looked at importing styles, and found the line
TODO Ignore stylesheet as ABIWord doesn't do styles (at the moment)
Questions on implementation:
A. Does another importer successfully import styles?
B. Help me with the function argument
pt_PieceTable::appendStyle(char ** attributes)
where attributes is a name,value stirng pairing:
name - Style name that appears in dialog box
type - ??? "P" seems to be common
basedon - style parent
followedby - next paragraph, had the value "Current Settings"
props - ??? what are valid values, is there
documentation? I understand the
DTD is out of date...

This applies a language characterisitc to a run. What is the AbiWord
equivalent?
>If endnotes are finished they should be exported/imported too.
Is there an interface to use endnotes as word-type comments with tool-tips?
Is there an alternative method to view endnote values when the cursor is on
an endnote?
Thanks,
Matti
