Subject: Re: [office] Legal child elements of <table:table-cell> inspreadsheetapplications
Hi Michael, would you please formally track this issue and make sure it is discussed. We really need an answer here. ~Florian >>> Kohei Yoshida <kyoshida@novell.com> 08/10/07 2:36 AM >>> Hi there, While reading Section 8.1.3 - "Table Cell" - of the ODF 1.2 draft spec, I've noticed that the spec allows an arbitrary number of elements defined as the "text-content" as child elements of <table:table-cell>. So, I looked up the Relax NG definition of the "text-content" pattern, which is defined as follows: <define name="text-content"> <choice> <ref name="text-h"/> <ref name="text-p"/> <ref name="text-list"/> <ref name="text-numbered-paragraph"/> <ref name="table-table"/> <ref name="draw-a"/> <ref name="text-section"/> <ref name="text-soft-page-break"/> <ref name="text-table-of-content"/> <ref name="text-illustration-index"/> <ref name="text-table-index"/> <ref name="text-object-index"/> <ref name="text-user-index"/> <ref name="text-alphabetical-index"/> <ref name="text-bibliography"/> <ref name="shape"/> <ref name="change-marks"/> </choice> </define> But are all of these really allowed as child elements of <table:table-cell>, especially in a spreadsheet application? While it may make sense to allow them in a table cell in a word processor application (which is also represented by the <table:table-cell> tag), I'm not so sure about allowing all of them in a cell inside a spreadsheet application. And the text part of the aforementioned section is rather ambiguous about whether there is any differentiation in the definition of <table:table-cell> between word processor and spreadsheet applications. For instance, what is an ODF-supporting spreadsheet application supposed to do when it sees a <table:table> element as a child element of <table:table-cell>?
