Yep, both the old and the new import filter uses RTF_FOO to parse \foo.
The exporter uses OOO_STRING_SVTOOLS_RTF_FOO.

Nah, just adding them is easy - the real trick is to implement them. Is
there any area where you would be interested to help? I would suggest
contributing to the exporter, as that one is not under heavy
development.

Attachement stripped - probably you need to get an email client instead
of nabble if you want to send attachements.

Still, if you could put a table to the wiki containing those 66
keywords, then we could start writing oneliner documentations for them -
that would be a great start.
