Hello, I would prefer though that we continue this discussion on
libwpd-devel@lists.sourceforge.net so that it can be than eventually
googled for and the information will be available to everyone.

Concerning the WP 5.x support, at present moment it is this:
* Tables (basic support, no border information is correctly converted,
no cell fill, what is converted is the width of the cells and if I did
not make any mistake, the alignment). This can improve drastically as
soon as I have a dedicated and responsive QA for this file-format. WP
Mac overtook WP5.x in terms of features because someone cared enough to
do such a QA and be available for questions and some little work.
* Text: support of almost all extended characters, font face and size
information conversion as well as the text colour. Although, there are
pretty many WP 5.x documents with corrupted prefix area and in those
documents, if the font information is missing, we just assume it is
Times New Roman.
* Paragraph information: paragraph alignment, margins after and before
as well as all other paragraph margins as long as they are not done
using tabulators, since tabulators are not converted at all
* Footnotes/endnotes
* Headers/footers

Cheers

Fridrich

NOTE: I will be on vacations starting the middle of next week for 3-4
weeks, so there will be no work done (at least by me) on libwpd during
this period. But, after that, if I manage to find a job, I will restart
working in my free time on this.
