Adding a new import file type

If I wanted to tinker with a new import file type, so that OO Writer is able to read this particular file format—where's the right way to start? Documentation? Examples? Thanks

You need to know the file format. And you need to be a fairly proficient programmer. If it is some flavour of XML, you can transform it to Open Document XML via XSLT and integrate the XSLT script via Tools>XML Filters...

Assume both to a very proficient level

Did anybody ever attempt to implement an HTML filter, maybe even with (some) CSS support?

What if it's not XML?

I know Pandoc, but what about file formats that aren't supported by it or that aren't even XML derived?

You are the programmer. Find out.
