Hi,

I got a very rudimentary ODF Text Translator working that can import as much as the BTextView features allow. I'm interested in supporting more though, and (IMHO) the BTextView support for styled text is very, very rudimentary. I'd like to extend BTextView / the StyledText format to support more style information, and even custom objects.

This would include extending StyledEdit to support those features.

Would anybody have opinions about doing this? Too much bloat for an API, or useful enough?

Regards,

Ithamar.
