Description bluedwarf 2007-08-17 06:00:27 UTC
Excel supports phonetic guide function. This function are mentioned in the page
below
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel/HP052507751033.aspx

Excel also has the function to save the phonetic (ruby) text into Excel format
file and load it from the file. To improve interoperability with Excel, Calc
should support the same function.

The same request are reported by Seagull Research Team 2006:

80764-example1.{xls,png} is the same example as

Here is a hex dump of 80764-example1.xls. The following data 
blocks are stored sequentially without any separator.

Tora-san, I would like to upstream this feature based on your patch.  I had
modified your patch slightly to adjust for 3.x, which is currently in Go-OO.  Is
it okay to start with that patch to create a CWS for integration?
Comment 7 daniel.rentz 2009-09-11 16:45:38 UTC
FYI:

For ooxml import, I made some preparations, see the RichString class and related
...Phonetic... classes in oox/inc/oox/xls/richstring.hxx. All phonetic data is
already imported and stored in the members RichString::maPhonPortions (phonetic
text portions) and RichString::maPhonSettings (phonetic font settings and
alignment).

What to do to finalize this? In RichString::convert(), these members have to be
processed somehow. Hopefully, it is possible to receive the appropriate UNO
interface(s) needed to set phonetic information from the passed XText. :-)
Comment 8 tora3 2009-09-15 15:17:06 UTC
tora->kohei: Thank you for your efforts. Sure, it is okay to start it. 

The original patch was developed February 2008 by Hiroyuki Ikezoe as a member of 
the Japanese Seagull Development Project 2007 (jsdp2007).

re-assigning to myself, for the integration work.
Comment 10 thorsten.ziehm 2010-09-23 08:53:18 UTC
This issue is assigned to CWS calcphonetic. Currently this CWS has target OOo
3.4 and therefore I change the target of this issue accordingly.
