AbiWord Software Development Kit
The AbiWord SDK is still very much a work in progress, and probably will be for quite some time. However, in it's current state it will give you an insight into the capabilities of AbiWord.
The AbiWord SDK follows the AbiWord versioning scheme, so its version number does not represent its state. Eg. for the AbiWord v2.2.x series, you'll need an accompanying AbiWord SDK v2.2.y release.
Currently, the AbiWord SDK contains examples of various tasks a developer might find usefull. Some examples will need the AbiWord source itself as well, which can be found on the AbiWord download page.
The AbiWord SDK includes:
1. Examples how to use AbiWord in External Applications
There are several options available to you as a developer when you want to
include AbiWord or AbiWord's capabilities into your own application. The most
simple one would be controlling AbiWord via a plugin called AbiCommand.
Furthermore, you can embed AbiWord directly into your application using the
AbiWord Bonobo control. Note however that this option is only available in the
GNOME version of AbiWord. Example code for both options is included in the
AbiWord SDK
