Multi-line support #2

Closed yamsu closed 9 years ago

yamsu commented 10 years ago

odsfile is really useful for quickly adding tables to latex documents, excellent project! However, there is no support for multiline cells. The following tabular environment doesn't work \begin{tabular}{p{1cm}ll} This provide only a single line output as one would get with \begin{tabular}{lll}

Is it possible to get this multiline support?

Breaking long lines with p{width} should work normally. But I found that manually broken cells (with ctrl+enter) didn't work. I added support for them, there is a new option for \includespread - columnbreak (default value is \linebreak). Also, when a table is inserted using templates, p{width} is created automatically for columns with multiline cells.

You can download improved code from github and test it, if everything work correctly, I will upload changes to CTAN.

Hi Michal, Thanks for the response. In fact I figured out that with the old code everything is working if I do not use a template. The following line would not work with p{wight} columns \includespread[file=file.ods,sheet=Sheet1,columns=head,template=booktabs] \includespread[file=file.ods,sheet=Sheet1,columns=head,template=default] \includespread[file=file.ods,sheet=Sheet1,columns=head,template=custom_user_defined]

However, without the template, everything is working. I modified the style file to embed a template for my own use. I will try out the github code and get back to you. Thanks

Yes, older template code used l column types for all columns. Now p{some width} are used if some manual line breaks are used in a column, otherwise l are used. There is now new option for \includespread, coltypes, so it is possible to specify column types if you use templates.
