Glad you like it, but be aware that things will probably be in flux a 
lot. For example:

- the <style> tag used by the SimpleTableParser is created as <egstyle> 
by the SimpleTableGenerator
- the components except EGWrapper don't really do anything useful and 
I'll probably delete them if I don't get a good idea what to do with 
them
- there will be an additional cellValue attribute that will override 
the parsing of the content, useful when used together with   
WRReporting
- AFAIK, the example relies on german formatters being used

I didn't put any much work into the whole scheme once I came up with 
the idea of using HTML table and POI is doing all the real stuff:)

As for DirectToExcel, you could probably skip the hop and just jump at 
using a simple list page, stripped of all formatting...

Cheers, Anjo
