As the first thing, you should read
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GSoC/2015 .

For details about librevenge::RVNGTextInterface, check the API
documentation. You should read
https://davetardon.wordpress.com/2014/05/06/writing-import-libraries-with-librev
+enge-part-i-getting-started/ for general overview of librevenge. I have
not quite finished the next (tutorial) part yet, sorry... You can also
look at the already existing import libraries for vector graphic
formats, e.g., libpagemaker or libcdr.

There is a skeleton library at
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~dtardon/libxara/ , but it does not do
anything yet.
