Is it a simple matter of getting the list of xml tags that abiword
uses and spitting them out appropiately or is there some more formal
mechanism that i should use. Id like my first attempt to be a standalone
program that outputs xml, and once that works then integrate it more
closely with the importer mechanism of abiword. If all i need is a list
of tags, what is the current list of paragraph and character etc formatting
tags ?
When looking around at the latest tarfile i see that theres a file or
two called word97 importer that looks like somone began to work from the
word spec, fwiw you have to extract the ole streams from ole docs first
and then the microsoft biff specs relate to the file offsets in the
extracted streams. the laolareplace.old.c and ole dirs of the latest
mswordview source demo this in operation.
