Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Updated: (OFFICE-3435) ODF 1.2 CD05 Part 26.11.13 Incredible HYPERLINK Function



     [ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-3435?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Andreas Guelzow  updated OFFICE-3435:
-------------------------------------

    Resolution: 
[Dennis]
Delete the HYPERLINK function from ODF 1.2 Part 2.

Remove it from any list in Section 2 that it appears in.


[Eike]
disagrees.

[Rob]

Define the function's computational behavior with a note for the side effect:

"Returns its 2nd argument, or if that is omitted returns the 1st argument.

Note: Hosting environments may take a call to HYPERLINK as a hint to render the returned value in an implementation-defined way that allows direct navigation to the URL parameter." 

[Andreas]

Define the function's computational behavior with a note for the side effect:

"Returns its 2nd argument, or if that is omitted returns the 1st argument.

Note: Hosting environments may take a call to HYPERLINK as a hint to attach a link to a URL created in an implementation dependent way from the formula containing this HYPERLINK call. "

Since the non-side-effect of HYPERLINK is consistent across implementation I see no reason not to include that part. So I have added another potential resolution reformulating the Robert's note since I think that it does not correctly describe current implementations behaviour.

I would still be fine deleting the HYPERLINK function outright.

> ODF 1.2 CD05 Part 2 has an inexplicable definition for the HYPERLINK function.
> The description asserts that there is an effect on a cell.
> The description assrts that there is an effect on a cell even if the function's occurrence is not needed in the evaluation of the formula.
> The description asserts that there is a coordinated effect in how an IRI is composed (or multiples delivered) from individual occurrences of the HYPERLINK function in the same expression.
> The description asserts unjustifiable requirements on the implementation of an evaluator.
> Finally, the examples of this function are used to refine the definition.  Only the simplest examples can be inferred from the definition.
> It appears that incidental consequences of a specific implementation are being appealed to, without concern for what is essential and good enough for an OpenFormula case and no matter what odd behaviors that implementations might have for cases that defy well-definedness.
