Hi Nicolas,

I have used version 1.6 (1999) to develop the import filter.

It should be compatible according to the specification. The writer should 
probably insert some extra keywords for compatibility with older readers (\ul 
to turn on any underline for example, followed by the underline style).

Yes, from the specification:

"\ul		Continuous underline. \ul0 turns off all underlining."

The code is correct, the "\ul" keyword is a toggle property and the other 
underline keywords are flag properties.

Perhaps it would be better to use an enumeration for the underline styles? The 
parsing of underline styles of KOffice is now incorrect: these keywords are 
not booleans, but should select an underline style (flag).
