 I read in the attached svg, but the generated graphic
misses two things:

* the 'line' elements don't appear
* the text style 'underline' is ignored

(I'm running sketch 0.6.14 with PyXML 0.8.1)

The developer's guide would be a start: 
http://sketch.sourceforge.net/Doc/devguide.html

Actually only "polybeziers". Polygons and lines are
only
special cases of that in Sketch.

> Therefor, should a <line/> be converted into
a polygon.

Basically, yes. The implementation will probably be similar
to the polyline method in svgloader.py. Create a path
object, call AppendLine for the start and end points and add
it as a bezier object.

> and saved as a <path/>

That happens automatically as Sketch doesn't have a special
type for lines. It would be possible for svgsaver to figure
out whether a given bezier object could be stored as a line
or a polygon as opposed to a path but I'm not sure it's
worth it.

ok, I'd like to look into this. Is there any documentation I
could read ?
The UI suggests you don't have lines, only polygons.
Therefor, should
a <line/> be converted into a polygon (and saved as
a <path/> ?)

any pointers are highly appreciated...

Assigned to nobody because I probably won't be working on
this any time soon.

Well, the SVG filters are very incomplete. Implementing the
line element shouldn't be difficult. Text underlining would
have to be simulated by creating a separate line object
since Sketch doesn't support underlined text directly.

I don't have the time to implement this at the moment.
Patches would be welcome.
