OOo Filter Extensions: Basic Principles

Any document filter (either import or export of both in one component) can be provided as an extension. This extension will contain the filter either as a UNO component (shared library, jar file, Python module) or an xslt file. To make the filter known to OOo as usual a configuration file must be provided that bounds the filter component or xslt file to a particular file type. The configuration format is described in the Developer's Guide.

A detailed description how filters are developed can also be found in the Developer's Guide. What you can find here is: how can I deploy my filter as an extension?
