BTW, I have an *unorthodox* patch against abi & expat that enables abiword to import HTML, which I've tested variously. I doubt the expat people would like it, though (It's a violation of our most basic principles!), and I don't know if it's worth the hassle, but FWIW. > > > (3) As I mentioned a while back, I'm thinking of creating a 'lite' > > > version > > > of libwmf specifically for AbiWord.

(I mean it.) I told you 6 weeks ago I had written a wmf->png importer and you said to do wmf->svg instead (thus, in part, my recent interest in SVG). One problem I have is 'sniffing'. Some wmfs are easily identifiable as such, others it's a case of suck-it-and-see - i.e., parse the entire file and if there weren't any errors then it was probably a wmf. Which is a pretty expensive sniff. One other thing, how can I determine page width & height (in pixels)?
