[OctDev] gnumericread, gnumericfinfo

[Josep i T. <jm...@pu...>]

Hi!

I have finish gnumericread and gnumericfinfo (well almost, there are a
lot of things that need to be polished, including docs) and I would like
to include them to gnumeric, but I have a few questions:

1.- They depend on libxml2, is this a problem?

2.- Where should they lie in the directory structure? main/io ? Or
perhaps extra/io ?

3.- A matter of taste: what do people prefer, gnumericread or gmrread?=20


It uses libxml2 xmlreader interface (a kind of sax interface but using a
push API instead of a pull API); so it should be fast and use very few
resources.

I plan to include soon a gnumericwrite function (but it's a whole
different because it must keep a tree of the whole document) and
probably some functions to octave specific things.

If someone wants to test them you can download them here:

Does someone besides me use gnumeric here? :)
