    Description

      Just like Kelvin said in ODFTOOLKIT-143, the API is deficient in text extraction area.
      Now reading text from a document is very complex and the API give user little help.
      Now in order to read a text doc, users have to get a byte stream of the XML markup and/or use XPath expressions to walk the ODF XML tree. This is not good enough for a higher level API and requires users to know the ODF syntax.
      We will work on this issue in ODFDOM 0.9 and this area will be enhanced very soon.
      Any suggestion will be welcomed.
