Yep. We're still in the "run before you can walk" stage. Picking up speed
quite nicely, though.
>Is their a framework for embedding objects yet? Especially graphics.
What a timely question!
This past week we roughed out a framework for inline binary objects, and
Eric's started using it to implement raster image support. The actual
binary data items will get stored in a separate portion of the document, and
referenced by name.
There's already code in place to import/export binary data items <d> in a
separate <data> section of the AbiWord file format. For example, we plan to
store all raster images as separate base64-encoded PNGs, with references
from inline <i/> tags.
>Also, what about tables?
We've done a bunch of whiteboard work, and have a pretty good idea where
we're likely to start. However, none of us are familiar with how Word
stores and represents tables in their file format, so that might be a useful
design point.
