Import plain text to KWord

Last update 04 May 2002 (Done by Nicolas Goutte)
Features - import text from plain text documents
- read correctly files with Carriage Returns (with or without Line Feeds)
- selectable paragraph strategy:
* like previous versions (buggy!)
* one line per paragraph
* paragraph ends if lines ends with a point
Todo - move most of the paragraph stategies out of the filter as independant functions in KWord
- better usability of the dialog

Paragraph strategies

As Is:
- one line becomes a paragraph
(Recommended strategy)
Sentence:
- a paragraph ends when a line ends with a point or similar punctuation.
- the punctuation is searched at the end of the line, even if the sentence is quoted or in parentheses.
- an empty line also ends the paragraph.
Old Way: (similar to KOffice 1.1.x)
- a paragraph ends at an empty line.
- a paragraph ends at a short line (less than 40 characters.)
(Unlike KOffice 1.1.x, the filter cannot handle lists anymore.)
