Struct Cell 

pub struct Cell<'a> {
    pub element: &'a Element,
    pub covered: bool,
}

One cell, as found in the tree.

Fields

element: &'a Element

The table:table-cell element, so that anything not modelled here is still reachable.

covered: bool

True when this is a table:covered-table-cell: a cell hidden underneath a neighbour’s span. It is kept rather than skipped because the grid has to know not to draw a border there.

Implementations

impl Cell<'_>

pub fn value(&self) -> Value

The cell’s typed value.

pub fn text(&self) -> String

What the cell shows: the text the producing application formatted and stored in the cell’s paragraphs.

This is why a viewer needs neither a number-format engine nor a formula evaluator. ODF requires a cell to carry both its typed value and the text of that value as the document was last displayed, so the formatted string — thousands separators, currency symbol, date order, decimal places — is already in the file. A cell edited here would have to be re-formatted from its data style, which is the work an editor adds and a viewer does not.

A cell with more than one paragraph gives them separated by newlines.

pub fn formula(&self) -> Option<&str>

The formula, without the namespace prefix ODF writes in front of it.

A formula is written of:=SUM([.A1:.A9]), where the part before the colon says which formula language it is in. The prefix is dropped here and the expression given as it stands: nothing in this release evaluates one, and a formula bar shows what the document says.

pub fn style_name(&self) -> Option<&str>

The cell style the cell names, if it names one.

pub fn columns_spanned(&self) -> usize

How many columns the cell spans, which is one unless it says otherwise.

pub fn rows_spanned(&self) -> usize

How many rows the cell spans.
