Normally not so hard. If it's continuous text, all you need to do
is to create a descendent of a TLinearWriter (dwlinear) and
implement the various formatting routines.
All the rest (document structure) is handled by TLinearWriter.
For page-oriented output (like HTML) you must start from scratch.
I planned to create a TPageWriter similar to TLinearWriter which
would provide the structure; THTMLWriter would then be a descendent
from TPageWriter. But I didn't get around to that yet. See below why.

I have rtf output finished, I just need to tie some loose ends.
It's a TLinearWriter descendent.
Direct PDF writing would be a great thing to have.
