The section entitled "Saving Text Properties in Files" the Emacs Lisp 
Reference Manual says:

>We invite users to write Lisp programs to store and retrieve text 
>properties in files, using these hooks, and thus to experiment with 
>various data formats and find good ones. Eventually we hope users

Does anyone have any experience with that that they would like to pass along?

Thanks.

I only know of enriched-mode which saves text properties in files.
It comes with Emacs.

I also wonder if there is other work in that area.

I would be interested to see a mode that saves the properties as XML
entities containing the text, with the properties encoded as XML
properties.  Standard tools could then be used to do various
transformations on the resulting XML, to create web pages, DocBook
format, OpenOffice documents, and so forth from the same file.

AFAIK, the file format that enriched-mode uses looks a lot like XML,
though it might not actually *be* XML.

Well, it's got lotsa pointy brackets.
