But ContentsLen does not always correspond to what an ExportHook will
actually make out of it. For example, consider your are adding a text to
a TE.mcc object with only control characters (e.g. bold, italic) and
without any real text. When you then call the export hook the actual
text that you will receive via ExportText() will have a strlen() of
zero. However, the ContentsLen will still return > 0 because the control
characters (bold, italic) are actually within the Contents variable, right?
So perhaps it would be better to have an MUIM_TextEditor_ExportTextLen
method instead? Or did I miss something? comments?

Yes. Go to the SVN repository, do your changes to the autodoc and then
commit the file. That's it. And make sure to keep the same indentation
and layout as the other attributes/methods in there already.
