fpspreadsheet
=============
The fpSpreadsheet library offers a convenient way to generate and read 
spreadsheet documents in various formats:
- Excel 2.x .xls
- Excel 5.0/Excel 95 .xls
- Excel 8.0 (Excel 97-XP) .xls
- Microsoft OOXML .xlsx
- LibreOffice/OpenOffice OpenDocument .ods
- wikimedia wikitable formats

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