The backup and exported .ofocus documents are simply a directory containing a gzipped XML. You can do:

xmllint --format My.ofocus/contents.xml

to see the whole shebang.

There is a RelaxNG grammar inside the application that covers most of the file format; it should be fully covered before we ship. I think the only thing that isn't covered right now is the format of styled text and that is mostly the same as the OO3 XML file format, if you've dealt with that.

Once you've extracted the XML file; the next question is what you want exactly -- it would be pretty easy to use XSL to transform it to whatever you have in mind (well, as "easy" as XSL gets, anyway).
