Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (OFFICE-2059) Resolve potentialambiguity with optionality in leading "=" and "=="
[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-2059?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16098#action_16098 ] Dennis Hamilton commented on OFFICE-2059: ----------------------------------------- If OpenFormula defines its basic expression to always have a leading "=" then the optional second "=" is unambiguous. There is then also no ambiguity between the prefix and any other occurrence of ":" in the basic expression itself. That resolves any potential for ambiguity. I think the language in ODF 1.2 part 1 where formulas might appear should allow this case so that hosting of OpenFormula is direct. I think the language in OpenFormula about prohibiting a prefix when OpenFormula is intended should be omitted. It is up to the hosting document format what its default formula language is, if any. I suspect that ODF 1.2 should be worded to say that the prefix MAY be omitted when OpenFormula 1.x is to be understood, but we must be careful about future up-down-level issues and OpenFormula versioning. [I'll look at splitting these out, but I wanted to capture my last thoughts from the discussion on the call today.] > Resolve potential ambiguity with optionality in leading "=" and "==" > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: OFFICE-2059 > URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-2059 > Project: OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) TC > Issue Type: Task > Components: OpenFormula, Table > Affects Versions: ODF 1.2 > Environment: This comment applies to the current working draft of open formula > Reporter: Dennis Hamilton > Priority: Minor > > Between statements in ODF 1.2 Part 1 where OpenFormula formulae may be hosted, and the description of the use of optional namespace prefix, leading "=", and the extra leading "==" for recalculation control, I am concerned that this situation has unresolvable ambiguities. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
