    agreed

    I wouldn't mind but this library is not intended for general consumption, only the filters so far.  Do you still think it is needed?

    Good comment.  But perhaps we should discuss that on the ML?

    Hmm, I would like to investigate alternative approaches more.  Can you give me some pointers?
    
    Regarding styles, you'll notice that this isn't handled at all yet. And the reason for that is that I agree with you that a QHash isn't enough. I used to have simplified style handling here taken from the html export filter but I removed it because I realized that it wasn't enough.

What you do to use this library is that you inherit a base class for backends to this parser / traverser and in the many callbacks you write the output that is relevant for your output format.
