Support for XLS #15

Closed albertbellonch closed 10 years ago

Hello,

First of all, really useful gem, @glebm!

My users need to be able to open spreadsheets with Office 2003, and as long as xlsx is only supported from Office 2007 on (and I don't want to make them download any extra software), I need to offer spreadsheets in xls format instead of xlsx.

Is there any way to do that through your gem? If not, are there plans to do it?

Thanks!

This gem uses Axlsx for writing Excel files. To my knowledge, Axlsx only supports the open XLSX format, and not the closed binary XLS.
