I don't know. There might be something in the UNO examples. I think
there is also a chapter about filters in the old OO.o Developers Guide
(http://www.openoffice.org/api/DevelopersGuide/DevelopersGuide.html).

At http://tdf.io/bugs .

present in OO.o 1.0 (and the code has changed very little since that
time).

In sw/source/filter/html in the core repo.
