Pretty bad excel reader. Doesn't use propper XML parser so breaks faster than a flinstone car. It is only meant to extract some strings and values.
Creates table from excel sheets. Every sheets get a header 1 and the sheet is converted to a cell. Only keeps the value of course
pandoc -f excelreader.lua -t gfm exceltest.xlsxSoon you will wonder, did I create the header table manually?
Or also inline. header false means that a title will not be added in front of the table
- Sheets is a list of sheet separated by ,
- firstlineheader decides if a the first row is the header row. If it is not you might set headers with headers. Most likely works only well when you use 1 sheet only or the sheets are all the same
- Widths is a list of column widths. If not all columns are separated, the remaining space is divided over the remaining columns. Eg 3 columns but one define with 0.2 results in budget = 1-0.2, budget over the remaining 2 columns is 0.4 per column. Alternative use defwidth to set up a default width instead of using a budget calculation.
This does not use a real yaml parser, so stick to the format
```xlsx {file="myexcel.xlsx" header="false"}
sheets: [Data]
widths: [0.2]
firstlineheader: false
headers: [Head 1,Head 2]
```You can also get a single field inline as
xlsx://myexcel.xlsx?sheet=Data&cell=A1
Known issues; dates will render as the number of days since 1/1/1900. Eg 1 jan 2024 is 45291 ( something like : 365*124+(124/4+1)). This is just how excel stores dates :)
Will convert the inline svg to real files
pandoc -L svgtofile.lua -o testout/mydoc.docx svgtofiledemo.md
