Hi all :)

I'm going on holiday for a couple of weeks.

Before departing, I wanted to say that, apart from creating some 
cliparts for the "Klipart" project, I also studied a little bit 
more the StarWriter file format, in order to develop an import 
filter for KWord.
Christian Biesinger from Abiword gave me some hints with the 
document that you also linked at koffice.org, and I found some 
useful information about normal text paragraphs, properties 
(bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, superscript, subscript) 
and other (left, center, right, justify alignment; margins; line 
spacing). I also discovered something about numbering/bullets, 
tables and graphics.
I still have to find out page properties, style definitions 
(which is essential), headers, footers, notes.
I'm not sure I will want to discover how personal data (name, 
address, emails, etc.) are handled in the file, it's not that 
important :)

When I come home and I have some time, I will create an HTML page 
collecting all these information, and then I will notice you.
In the meanwhile, can you please add my name to the "filters" 
page, under StarWriter, where I read "planned" and "contact"? It 
would be useful to hear something from interested people...

I also wanted to ask: if I manage to create a *clear* HTML 
explanation about the StarWriter file format, also containing 
some pseudo-code for the developers to read it, is there anyone 
willing to help me writing the real source code, or wanting to 
write it by himself, since I'm not that confident with coding?

thanks a lot :)
