Error converting RTF files
I have a collection of RTF files that just won't convert to MOBI under Calibre 0.7.13. I'm running Kubuntu Linux 10.04 (2.6.32-24). Here's the error from Calibre:
Code:

InputFormatPlugin: RTF Input running on /home/myuser/Documents/books/calibre/Lisa Smedman/Sacrifice of the Widow (1665)/Sacrifice of the Widow - Lisa Smedman.rtf Converting RTF to XML...

There error implies that this particular RTF file (and bunch of others I have) have a feature that Calibre does yet support. I'd be happy to contribute a patch, but even looking at the stack trace I'm not sure where to begin.
Any suggestions? Thanks. -Veggie |

All the RTF conversion code is in the calibre.ebooks.rtf2xml package (in the directory src/calibre/ebooks/rtf2xml)
