Writer Output plugin

[Ferdinand Soethe <sa...@soethe.net>]

Has anybody already written a basic OpenOffice Writer Output plugin?
Even though our client won't pay for it, I'd really like to do some
experimenting with typesetting larger documents with writer.

This plugin and the database one you mentioned on user@f.a.o would be
good to get in SVN even if they aren't complete.  If you put them in the
whiteboard, then we know that they aren't finished, but others can see
them and help.

I have a non-working plugin on my hard drive - never got the time to 
finish it. The basic skeleton is there and it is outputting the relevant 
XML files but OOo fails to open them so I assume they are not valid. I 
never attempted to fix it, could be minor, could be major.

I'll send you the zip privately.
