If BIFF5 excel 95 file doesn't have codepage record, the default codepage CP1252 is used and can't be change.
That causes to problems with decoding cyrillic text.
If row or column dimensions are accessed, then HTML writer would
still generate lots of empty cells, to show nothing at all. This
now ignore row and column dimensions to only output cell that
actually exists (even if those cells are empty).
Fixes#1235Close#1537
Reader/Html is now covered except for 1 statement.
There is some coverage of RichText when you know in advance that the
html will expand into a single cell.
It is a tougher nut, one that I have not yet cracked,
to try to handle rich text while converting unkown html to multiple cells.
The original author left this as a TODO, and so for now must I.
It made sense to restructure some of the code. There are some changes.
- Issue #1532 is fixed (links are now saved when using rowspan).
- Colors can now be specified as html color name. To accomplish this,
Helper/Html function colourNameLookup was changed from protected
to public, and changed to static.
- Superfluous empty lines were eliminated in a number of places, e.g.
<ul><li>A</li><li>B</li><li>C</li></ul>
had formerly caused a wrapped cell to be created with 2 empty lines
followed by A, B, and C on separate lines; it will now just have the
3 A/B/C lines, which seems like a more sensible interpretation.
- Img alt tag, which had been cast to float, is now used as a string.
Private member "encoding" is not used. Functions getEncoding and setEncoding
have therefore been marked deprecated. In fact, I was unable to get
SecurityScanner to pass *any* html which is not UTF-8. There are
possibly ways of getting around this (in Reader/Html - I have no
intention of messing with Security Scanner), as can be seen in my
companion pull request for Excel2003 Xml Reader. Doing this would be
easier for ASCII-compatible character sets (like ISO-8859-1),
than for non-compatible charsets (like UTF-16). I am not
convinced that the effort is worth it, but am willing to investigate
further.
I added a number of tests, creating an Html directory, and moving
HtmlTest to that directory.
* Corrected date time detection
German and Swiss ZIP codes (special formats provided in German Excel versions) were detected as date time value, because the regular expression for date time formats falsely matched their formats ("\C\H\-00000" and "\D-00000").
