Add support for OpenDocument ODS format for on-demand exports (through search feature) #3923

Open aleksejrs opened 4 years ago

2666 added support for Microsoft XLSX format, which OFF now describes as "XLSX format - Excel or LibreOffice". It's kind of anti-open to have that and not OpenDocument; as teolemon pointed out, "there is a similar library for ODT: https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/OpenOffice-OODoc/OODoc/Intro.pod".

And having one (as opposed to just saying it's the same data) is worth it, as long as the user wants to open it in free spreadsheet software, because opening the CSV correctly in it is not straightforward, either: while LibreOffice Calc seems to open it just the same as the XLSX (save for not tagging the first line as headers), Gnumeric seems unconfigurable and Calligra Sheets hangs when I change the separator.
