        Nasty.

        No-one wrote it yet ? :-) it's hardish to implemnt writer unit-tests
even now ? ( at least my attempt at auto-testing the red-lining also ran
into the ground inconclusively before I could write code to test the
specific issue that was reported ;-)

        So - it should be a MAB - mark it a dependency of:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=44446&hide_resolved=1

        So - of course, fiddling with the raw core API is one way to construct
such a document checkout:

        sw/qa/core/uwriter.cxx

        But apparently simple stuff such as inserting text into a document
there is far less than obvious and clean (in my experience at least).

        ;-) personally I'd load the document to remove that problem; Miklos has
a load of tests vs. the RTF filter here:

        sw/qa/extras/rtfimport.cxx

        that do UNO driven testing of document structure that are prolly well
worth pillaging there :-)

        ATB,

                Michael.
