Current Development Status of Dalkom HWP Extension (oxt) for LibreOffice

Fri, May 13 2016 01:09:00 KST

I have successfully integrated with libhwp, and it is now possible to view text from an HWP document in LibreOffice.
Due to time constraints, I have prioritized working only on text for now.
Since LibreOffice handles rendering, there is no need to write rendering code, which makes the difficulty of the task relatively low. While this opens the door to viewing HWP documents in LibreOffice, to implement paragraphs, tables, images, and other features, I need to read hundreds of pages of documentation, including the Hancom HWP spec, UNO API docs, and the ODF spec. Therefore, I will prioritize working on the specifications that I need.
The reason I am releasing this incomplete software is as follows:
The scope of work is vast, making it difficult to do alone.
Besides developing the HWP extension for LibreOffice, I am also developing the Nimf input method framework, libhwp, and other projects, so I have limited time to dedicate to this project. Furthermore, I have a separate day job.
Even if the quality does not meet expectations, instead of complaints like “Why is this all you can do?”, I am releasing this in the hope that someone might see it and think, “Ah… so this is how it’s done… it was surprisingly easy…”, and join the development.
