There are a number of situations where HTML write was producing
HTML which could not be validated. These include:
- inconsistent use of backslash terminating META, IMG, and COL tags
- @page style tags in body rather than header. Aside from being
non-standard, HTML Reader treats those as spreadsheet data.
- <div style="page-break-before:always" />, a construct which is
usually better handled through css anyhow.
- no alt tag for images (drawings and charts)
Other problems:
- Windows file names not handled correctly for images
- Memory drawings not handled in extendRowsForChartsAndImages
- No handling of different values for showing gridlines
for screen and print
- Mpdf and Dompdf do not require the use of inline css.
Tcpdf remains a holdout in the use of this inferior approach.
- no need to chunk base64 encoding of embedded images
- support for colors in number format was buggy (html tags
run through htmlspecialchars)
Code has been refactored when practical to reduce the number of
very large functions.
Coverage is now 100% for the entire HTML Writer module,
from 75% lines and 39% methods beforehand.
All functions dealing only with charts
are bypassed for coverage because the version of Jpgraph available in
Composer is not suitable for PHP7. The code will, nevertheless,
run successfully, but with warning messages. I have confirmed that
the code is entirely covered, without warnings, when the current
version of Jpgraph is used in lieu of the one available in Composer.
I will be glad to revisit this when the Jpgraph problem is resolved.
Directory PhpSpreadsheetTests/Writer/Html was created to house
the new tests. It seemed logical to move HtmlCommentsTest to
the new directory from PhpSpreadsheetTests/Functional.
A function to generate all the HTML is useful, especially for testing,
but also in lieu of the multiple other generate* functions. I have
added and documented generateHTMLAll.
The documentation for the generate* functions (a) produces invalid html,
(b) produces html which cannot be handled correctly by HTML reader,
and (c) even if those were correct, does not actually affect
the display of the spreadsheet. The documentation has been replaced
by a valid, and more instructive, example.
The (undocumented) useEmbeddedCss property, and the functions
to test and set it are no longer needed. Rather than breaking
existing code by deleting them, I marked the functions deprecated.
This change borrows a change to LocaleFloatsTest from
pull request 1456, submitted a little over a week before this one.
## Improve NumberFormat Support
First phase of this change included correcting NumberFormat handling
in HTML Writer. Certain complex formats could not be handled without
changes to Style/NumberFormat, and I did not wish to combine those changes.
Once the original change had been pushed, I took this part of it back up.
HTML Writer can now handle conditions in formats like:
[Blue][>=3000.5]$#,##0.00;[Red][<0]$#,##0.00;$#,##0.00
In testing, I discovered several errors and omissions
in handling of some other formats.
These are now corrected, and tests added.
For functions introduced in Excel 2010 and beyond, Excel saves them
in formulas with the xlfn_ prefix. PhpSpreadsheet does not do this;
as a result, when a spreadsheet so created is opened, the cells
which use the new functions display a #NAME? error.
This the cause of bug report 1246:
https://github.com/PHPOffice/PhpSpreadsheet/issues/1246
This change corrects that problem when the Xlsx writer encounters
a 2010+ formula for a cell or a conditional style. A new class
Writer/Xlsx/Xlfn, with 2 static methods,
is introduced to facilitate this change.
As part of the testing for this, I found some additional problems.
When an unknown function name is used, Excel generates a #NAME? error.
However, when an unknown function is used in PhpSpreadsheet:
- if there are no parameters, it returns #VALUE!, which is wrong
- if there are parameters, it throws an exception, which is horrible
Both of these situations will now return #NAME?
Tests have been added for these situations.
The MODE (and MODE.SNGL) function is not quite in alignment with Excel.
MODE(3, 3, 4, 4) returns 3 in both Excel and PhpSpreadsheet.
However, MODE(4, 3, 3, 4) returns 4 in Excel, but 3 in PhpSpreadsheet.
Both situations will now match Excel's result.
Also, Excel allows its parameters for MODE to be an array,
but PhpSpreadsheet did not; it now will.
There had not been any tests for MODE. Now there are.
The SHEET and SHEETS functions were introduced in Excel 2013,
but were not introduced in PhpSpreadsheet. They are now introduced
as DUMMY functions so that they can be parsed appropriately.
Finally, in common with the "rate" changes for which I am
creating a pull request at the same time as this one:
samples/Basic/13_CalculationCyclicFormulae
PhpUnit started reporting an error like "too much regression".
The test deals with an infinite cyclic formula, and allowed
the calculation engine to run for 100 cycles. The actual number of cycles
seems irrelevant for the purpose of this test. I changed it to 15,
and PhpUnit no longer complains.
When freeze pane is in use on a worksheet, PhpSpreadsheet saves to Xlsx in such
a way that the active cell is always set to the top left cell below the freeze
pane. I find it difficult to understand why:
1. You have given users the setSelectedCells function, but then choose to
ignore it.
2. Excel itself does not act in this manner.
3. PHPExcel did not act in this manner.
4. PhpSpreadsheet when writing to Xls does not act in this manner.
This is especially emphasized because the one test in FreezePaneTest which
would expose the difference is the only test in that member which is
not made for both Xls and Xlsx.
5. It is *really* useful to be able to open a spreadsheet anywhere, even when
it has header rows.
Closes#1323
* Prevented reading of blank cells.
The "readEmptyCells" attribute is ignored when reading spreadsheets, resulting in memory bloat.
* Included a test file for Unit Testing
A file that contains 100 referenced cells, one of which contains data.
* New test file for reading in empty cells
* Added test for reading in a blank cell
* Updated CHANGELOG
* Changed "s to 's
Change required for code style compliance
* Further Code Style Changes
Removed spaces after variable, before array indices.
* Further Code Style Changes
* Further Code Style Changes
Removed additional spaces.
* Updated reader and tests.
Editing a Xlsx document using PhpSpreadsheet should preserve the workbook
view attributes of that document. For example, if the worksheet tabs are
hidden in the original document, they should remain hidden after updating.
Fixes#523Fixes#525
Properly set the selected cells for worksheets with frozen panes when
writing Xlsx documents. Beforehand, the saved Xlsx documents were
generating corruption warnings when opened in Excel.
Fixes#532Closes#535
The behavior is similar to what is done in LibreOffice. That means if there is a
comment it will be shown with a small indicator and the actual comment will be
revealed when mouse hover over the indicator.
