<h1>StarWriter <= 5.x File Format (.sdw)</h1>
<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>The .sdw file format is an OLE2 Stream. libole2 (available as part of<a
href="http://www.wvware.com/"> wv</a>) can be used to access the
different substreams contained in the file.</p>
<p>All numbers given below are decimal, unless prefixed by 0x, in which
case they are hexadecimal.<br>
</p>
<p>Note that this documentation is far from complete!<br>
</p>
<p>The example code given below was used with a C++ Compiler, but
should mostly be valid C as well.</p>
<p>While writing the SDW Importer, I found this small utility I wrote (<a
href="dumpstream.c">dumpstream.c [requires libole2]</a>) (GPL) very
helpful. It can be used to print out the contents of a OLE2 stream. If
invoked like "<code>dumpstream filename.sdw</code>", it lists the
streams that are part of the file. If invoked like "<code>dumpstream
filename.sdw StarWriterDocument</code>", it prints out the contents of
that stream (you might want to pipe the output through <code>xxd</code>
to get a hexdump). Don't expect too much from this tool - it's a
q&d hack I've made to be able to see the contents of a stream.<br>
</p>
<p>Filepaths like <code>sw/source/...</code> are paths to the
OpenOffice sourcecode, relative to the root.</p>
<h2>Data Types</h2>
<p>Most types should speak for themselves (e.g. uint16 = unsigned 16
bit integer, sint32 = signed 32 bit integer).</p>
<p>There is, however, at least one special type: The Class ID, also
known as ClsId. It's a structure defined a follows:</p>
<code>struct ClsId {<br>
sint32 n1;<br>
sint16 n2, n3;<br>
uint8 n4, n5, n6, n7, n8, n9, n10, n11;<br>
};</code><br>
<p>The elements of the structure are stored in the file without any
padding and in the order in which they occur in the above struct
definition.</p>
<p>The type <code>bool</code> is a one-byte integer, where 0 means
false and all other values true; though usually 1 is stored.<br>
</p>
<p>Another important type is the <a name="Bytestring"></a><code>Bytestring</code>,<code></code>it
looks like this: First, there is an <code>uint16</code>, giving the
length in bytes of the following string. A <code>char[]</code> follows.
It is supposed to be firstly decrypted (if in the StarWriterDocument
stream outside the header and if the document is encrypted; see below).
Under the same condition, the string is in the character set specified
in the document header.<br>
</p>
<h2>Streams</h2>
The file consists of the following streams:<br>
<a href="#SwPageStyleSheets">SwPageStyleSheets</a><br>

<p>After the header, the file consists of many sections. Each section
starts with a character (<code>char</code>) that indicates of what
type it is (hereafter called section id). After that, there are three
bytes indicating the length of the section (little-endian). (to
convert this to a usable integer, use for example: (<code>buf [0] |
(buf[1] << 8) | (buf [2] << 16))</code> where buf points to
the first of the three read bytes). This means that unsupported
Sections can easily be skipped.<br>

lines 77ff)<br>
</p>
<p>Firstly, to be able to en- or decrypt data, the password must be
encrypted in memory (see below for the actual algorithm). For this
encryption, this password is always used. Also, the password needs
to be exactly 16 characters long; if it's shorter, it needs to be
padded with spaces:</p>
<p><code>static const UT_uint8 gEncode[] =<br>
{ 0xab, 0x9e, 0x43, 0x05, 0x38, 0x12, 0x4d, 0x44,<br>
0xd5, 0x7e, 0xe3, 0x84, 0x98, 0x23, 0x3f, 0xba };<br>
</code></p>
<p>The resulting string will be used as the password for actual en- or
decryption. (For both en- and decryption the same algorithm will be
used).<br>
</p>
<p>Here's the algorithm:<br>
</p>
<p><code>void SDWCryptor::Decrypt(const char* aEncrypted, char*
aBuffer, UT_uint32 aLen) const {<br>
size_t nCryptPtr = 0;<br>
UT_uint8 cBuf[maxPWLen];<br>
memcpy(cBuf, mPassword,
maxPWLen);<br>
UT_uint8* p = cBuf;<br>
<br>
if (!aLen)<br>
aLen = strlen(aEncrypted);<br>
<br>
while (aLen--) {<br>
*aBuffer++ = *aEncrypted++ ^ ( *p ^ (UT_uint8) ( cBuf[ 0 ] * nCryptPtr
) );<br>
*p += ( nCryptPtr < (maxPWLen-1) ) ? *(p+1) : cBuf[ 0 ];<br>
if( !*p ) *p += 1;<br>
p++;<br>
if( ++nCryptPtr >= maxPWLen ) {<br>
nCryptPtr = 0;<br>
p = cBuf;<br>
}<br>
}<br>
}</code><br>
</p>
<p>Where:<br>
<code>maxPWLen</code> = 16<br>
<code>mPassword</code> is an array of characters, 16 bytes long, and
contains the password which will be used<br>
</p>
<p>To verify that the given password is actually correct, these steps
should be taken:<br>
</p>
<p>A new string, say <code>testString</code>, should be built,
consisting of the Date and Time (from the header) next to each
other in Hex format, padded with 0 on the left if shorter than 8
characters (can for example be archieved by <code>snprintf(testString,
sizeof(testString), "%08lx%08lx", mDate, mTime);</code>)</p>
<p>This string should now be encrypted with the given password, and the
result should be compared to the password verification data
mentioned above. If they are equal, the password is correct.<br>
</p>
<h4><a name="Section_Types"></a>Section Types</h4>
<p>(the letter in parentheses is the section id)<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>SWG_CONTENTS (<code>'N'</code>)<br>
Actual textual content of the document. This section's header looks
like this:<br>
<ul>
<li>if version >= SWG_LAYFRAMES (5): one byte of flags, where
the lower 4 bits give the length of the flag part.</li>
<li>if version >= SWG_LONGIDX (0x201): <code>uint32</code>
giving the number of nodes (?) (<code>sw/source/core/sw3io/sw3sectn.cxx</code>
lines 181ff)<code></code></li>
<li>else<br>
if version >= SWG_LAYFRAMES: <code>uint16</code> = a dummy section
id, can be thrown away (at least that's what openoffice does)<br>
<code>uint16</code>, same meaning as the nodes from above, just
as a 2 byte integer.</li>
<li>flag part is over; if the length (taken from the flags as
stated above) hasn't been reached yet, skip the rest</li>
</ul>
After the section header, SWG_CONTENTS consists of sections like the
document itself. Most important seems to be<br>
<ul>
<li>SWG_TEXTNODE (<code>'T'</code>) (<code>sw/source/core/sw3io/sw3nodes.cxx</code>
lines 788ff)<br>
Firstly, textnodes contain a flag section as above (one byte of flags,
lower four bits give the length). I haven't looked at the possible
flags yet, so I just skip over them.<br>
A bytestring (see <a href="#Bytestring">above</a>) follows, containing
a paragraph of text.<br>
After this, a set of records follow (usually attributes (<code>'A'</code>),
which have the following structure)
<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" border="1"

<li>SWG_STRINGPOOL (<code>'!'</code>)<br>
There are two variants of the string pool, depending on the document
version. The old one is used if Version <= SWG_POOLIDS (0x3),
otherwise the new one is used.</li>
<ul>
<li>New:<br>
<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" border="1" width="720">

Now, the strings follow; each one having the following structure:<br>
<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" border="1" width="720">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td valign="top">Length<br>
</td>
<td valign="top">Type<br>
</td>
<td valign="top">Description<br>

</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">2<br>

<td valign="top">uint16<br>

<td valign="top">ID of the string<br>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">n/a<br>
</td>
<td valign="top">Bytestring<br>

<td valign="top">The string. Not encrypted. If ID ==
IDX_NOCONV_FF (0xFFFC), then the 0xFF character in the string should
be left unconverted; else, a normal conversion can be performed.<br>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
If the version of the file is less than SWG_HTMLCOLLCHG (0x0203) (the
version for new HTML Pool-Template IDs), the ID is not zero and below
IDX_SPEC_VALUE (0xFFF0) ("from here on reserved for special values"),
the ID must be mapped to a new one; but before that, the actual string
must possibly be changed, according to this table:<br>
<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" border="1" width="720">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td valign="top">ID<br>
</td>
<td valign="top">New String<br>

<td valign="top">RES_POOLCOLL_HTML_XMP_40 (0x3003)<br>
</td>
<td valign="top">"XMP"<br>

</tbody>

Afterwards, the ID must be changed according to this table (only if
version < SWG_HTMLCOLLCHG)<br>
<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" border="1" width="100%">

<h4>Notes</h4>
<ol>
<li>Both strings are stored with a terminating zero, and the length
includes this character. If zero, no version/format string is stored
in the stream.<br>
</li>
<li>The length of the file format string can either be -1, zero or
a positive value. If it is -1, it means that the next 4 bytes should
be interpreted as a Windows Clipboard format. If it's zero, see
above. If it's greater than zero, the version string follows. See
below.</li>
<li>Star/Open Office knows about lots of version strings.(see <code>sot/source/base/exchange.cxx</code>and<code>tools/inc/solar.h</code>
lines 471ff). OpenOffice uses <code>RegisterFormatName</code>
(line 253ff from the first file) to get the version number from the
string. (XXX There was another file, but I can't find it right now)</li>
