Smarter formatting for Definition #77

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The definition field, stored in the attribute element as a CDATA element in the 
configuration file is read by both the the online spreadsheet generator, and 
the generated spreadsheet.

We want this field to look good and make sense in both places.  This element, 
for convenience, contains synonyms, definition, and data formatting rules.  In 
the online version we want them displayed using HTML text but in the generated 
spreadsheets we want each element to be displayed in a new column, e.g.:

definition
data_format
synonyms.

Do this by creating div tags denoted by element identifiers, which can be 
formatted for HTML.  in the templateprocessor we can use Jsoup to parse these 
out into their own column names and strip HTML formatting away from them so we 
don't have to look at meaningless HTML tags in the spreadsheet.

TOP center elements on all fields

In the generated spreadsheet, we would also like all the columns in the Field 
List tab to be aligned Left and Top. The existing formatting makes it difficult 
to land on specific fields in ColumnName.

Alignment has been fixed.  
Separated data Format and synonyms into their own columns.
Removed wacky HTML text from definition code
