|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
- Excel XML (Excel 2003) .xml
|
|
|
|
|
- Microsoft OOXML .xlsx
|
|
|
|
|
- LibreOffice/OpenOffice OpenDocument .ods
|
|

|
|
|
- the user can register his own readers/writers for other formats. An example
|
|
|
|
|
is shown in the "spready" application for the .slk format.
|
|
|
|
|
("spready" is in the applications folder of CCR).

|
The library is written in a very flexible manner, capable of being extended to
|
|
|
|
|
support any number of formats easily.
