The entry point to +the filter is class LotusWordProImportFilter (refer to Source code +section), but that just hooks up the necessary machinery for processing +StarOffice XML produced by the filter. The real fun starts in function +ReadWordproFile() (source/filter/lwpfilter.cxx); this function +initializes the parser (class Lwp9Reader) and the SAX XML handler that +produces the output (class XFSaxStream). The Lwp9Reader class then does +the actual parsing. + +If the module is built with debug level greater than 0, it is possible +to examine the intermediate XML: set environment variable +DBG_LWPIMPORT_DIR= to an existing directory and, on opening an lwp +document, a file named lwpimport.xml will be created in that directory. + +== Source code == + +=== Module contents === +* inc: module-global headers (can be included by any file in source) +* qa: cppunit tests +* source: the filter itself +* util: UNO passive registration config + +=== Source contents === +* filter: lwp document format parser +* filter/LotusWordProImportFilter.cxx: the entry point to the filter +* filter/xfilter: export to StarOffice XML |
