Well it could be interesting having some ad-hoc meta-comment
actions.
However I have already implemented an alternative solution.
At present when a text shape needs to be exported I iterate
both over the related meta-actions and over the text paragraph
enumeration provided by the XText interface (and for each text
paragraph (XTextContent) on each text portion).

 From the meta-comment actions I extract info about when a new
paragraph or text line starts and I can also see when we have a
text field. From the text services related to XText and other
interfaces I succeed in finding out if we are dealing with a
list-item and which type of list is (bullet, numbered, image).
I can also extract the type of text fields, info that is not
available in the meta-comment action.

The tricky part has been to succeed in keeping synchronized
the two iterations, but now it works.

At present I'm working on a local branch different from the usual
one as I need a lot of debugging code, however I have no problem
to push it to the remote repo.
