I was trying to implement my own note-taking program. While I understand how a Word doc is roughly XML formatted like
<boldtext>some bold text</boldtext>
What I don't understand is how are multiple layers implemented in OneNote? How can one add SVG based drawings/annotations on typed text and move those annotations around. How is this encoded in the format, which seems pretty complex just thinking about it initially at least. My thinking was that if I could see a onenote parser, I could play around with a one-note document to see how it works? If that's not possible, I was wondering if there is any other open source format in which we annotate typed texts with hand drawing like in OneNote and how is that handled?
I saw that page and wasn't sure if I would be competent enough to roll my own parser of that format, hence my search for an existing .one parser or some similar open source format from Openoffice or some other open source note taking format.
