Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: scalc interchange ods between english and spanish

Hi :)
Thanks :)

I'm fairly sure .csv has no internationally agreed standard but given what
one certain company does with such standards I thinks that's not really
relevant.

Advantages are (imo);
* that it can be read in some way or other by a vast range of programs
* very easy to edit
* easy to convert a file from one implementation to another
* very compact yet straight-forwards
* easy to compress and uncompress teliably and consistently

Thanks for the insight wrt jeadless/cli mode too.
Regards from
Tom :)
