Given that I think we'd need a number:fill-character or some such attribute to go with 16.27 Data Styles http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.2/cs01/OpenDocument-v1.2-cs01-part1.html#__RefHeading__1416346_253892949 with the limitation that it can be present only once (if that is what Excel does) and specyfing what happens in these three conditions.
Taking http://wiki.oasis-open.org/office/How_to_propose_a_change_or_addition_to_ODF http://wiki.oasis-open.org/office/ProposalTemplate here is what I could come up with. Noel, Kohei: did I miss anything? Is that what Excel does, specifically the adjustment described? All <number:*-style> elements covered where it can occur? Thorsten: if fine could you then please submit that to the TC, create a JIRA issue and whatever is required? Thanks. ---%<---snip---%<--- Proposal owner: Thorsten Behrens Proposal short name: <number:fill-character> element for data styles Rationale ~~~~~~~~~ Use cases: For interoperability with other spreadsheet implementations an additional attribute is needed to specify a fill character used to fill space between grid border and content, or separating two parts of a displayed value string and filling in with the character. Alternatives considered: None. Requested changes to the ODF Standard ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Text changes/additions: In section 16.27 Data Styles http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.2/cs01/OpenDocument-v1.2-cs01-part1.html#__RefHeading__1416346_253892949 add: <number:fill-character> The content of this element specifies a Unicode character that is displayed repeatedly at the position where it occurs. There are three possible positions for this element, resulting in display strings as follows: * Start of style: * Right adjusts the display string and fills available space with the character specified from the left cell grid border up to the display string. * End of style: * Left adjusts the display string and fills available space with the character specified from the display string up to the right cell grid border. * Within style: * Splits the display string in two at the position where the element occurs, first part becomes left justified, second part becomes right justified, the available space in between is filled with the character specified. The <number:fill-character> element is usable within the following elements: [these lists are generated from the schema IIRC] <number:number-style> <number:currency-style> <number:percentage-style> <number:date-style> <number:time-style> <number:text-style> [and list the <number:fill-character> element as a child element of each of those] Schema changes/additions: New element: <define name="number-fill-character"> <element name="number:fill-character"> <text/> </element> </define> Add to each <element name="number:number-style"> <element name="number:currency-style"> <element name="number:percentage-style"> <element name="number:date-style"> <element name="number:time-style"> <element name="number:text-style"> this <optional> <ref name="number-fill-character"/> </optional> Impacts ~~~~~~~ Conformance: A processor may ignore this element, for example if there is no cell grid available or in data processing. Backwards compatibility: This element was not available in previous versions and is optional. Existing ODF processors may ignore it. Accessibility impact: None. ---%<---snap---%<--- Hopefully that does it.. Eike -- LibreOffice Calc developer. Number formatter stricken i18n transpositionizer.
