Package: xlhtml
Version: 0.5.1-6
Severity: wishlist
X-debbugs-cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
File: /usr/bin/xlhtml
Just plain
$ xlhtml -csv file.xls
Will still give HTML. One must throw in e.g.,
$ xlhtml -csv -xp:0-111 file.xls
to get -csv to work.
Same problem with -asc.
-te doesn't work, else there wouldn't be so many tabs at the end of
each line.
P.S.,
-asc Ascii out of -dp and extraction data (-xc, -xp, -xr)
You mean plain text, not ASCII. Otherwise you would mangle UTF-8,
which you fortunately don't.
P.S.S.,
Offline, I must replace your header
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd";>
with the one from /usr/bin/validate,
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";>
or else I need to connect to the net to retrieve your less than
standard address for it...
After which one still gets
12:34:E: document type does not allow element "TABLE" here;
missing one of "APPLET", "OBJECT", "MAP", "IFRAME", "BUTTON" start-tag
Also,
$ xlhtml 8.xls|tidy -utf8 >&-
line 13 column 1 - Warning: missing </font> before <table>
line 418 column 9 - Warning: discarding unexpected </font>
line 14 column 1 - Warning: <table> lacks "summary" attribute
line 13 column 1 - Warning: trimming empty <font>

The table summary attribute should be used to describe
the table structure. It is very helpful for people using
non-visual browsers. The scope and headers attributes for
table cells are useful for specifying which headers apply
to each table cell, enabling non-visual browsers to provide
a meaningful context for each cell.

service for checking URLs for accessibility.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.
