Updated the Spudsoft Excel emitter to the latest code from the author's repository #46

…725): * Support for word "fields" (formulas) * avoid superfluos nested table All of this is controlled by the following user properties: PROP_NAME_LAYOUTMODE = "WordEmitter.LayoutMode" PROP_NAME_FIELDFUNCTION = "WordEmitter.FieldFunction" PROP_NAME_NESTED_TABLE = "WordEmitter.NestedTable" By adding WordEmitter.LayoutMode = "NONE" to a list, the emitter avoids creating word tables for the list. By adding WordEmitter.FieldFunction = "any non-empty string" to a label, the emitter uses the label's content as a field function. WordEmitter.NestedTable is a boolean property and usually works automatic: It avoids a nested 1x1 table for a "foreign" element (dynamic text) if this element is in a cell of a table or grid. Note that the border properties of the element are ignored then. By setting the value to true, it forces the old behaviour. Furthermore, the DOC emitter now supports "show header on first".
This means you can force a layout element to start at a given y position on the page. This is done by supplying a UserProperty. See the code for details.
…utput. Word 2003 = WPML emitter, Word 2007 = DOCX emitter. This did not work as it should for the case when showHeaderOnFirst=false was specified for the master page, causing problems with the page header and the page footer, too.

Hi,
well, first you need to create a new branch on the current head of the main branch of the base repository (in this case "flugtiger/birt:flugtiger_master"). Then, you put all commits that you want to include in your pull request into this branch and eventually, you create a pull request with your own branch as source and the base branch in the base repository as target. More information can be found here: Creating a pull request
To do this, you have to open a separate pull request targeting the official birt repo. To make your changes be based upon the official repo, you can rebase your changes from the branch "flugtiger_master" onto (git rebase --onto) the main branch of the official repo ("eclipse/birt:master"). Please use a new branch for this rebase (otherwise you would affect this pull request). After this rebase you can open a pull request on the official repo with your rebased branch as source of the pull request. Please be aware, that the reactions of the maintainers of the official birt repository are very slow if there are any at all so it's hard to get anything into the official repo. |

Please see my commits from Oct 25 to Oct 28, 2019.
After the Spudsoft Excel emitter was included into BIRT (May 17, 2013) for 4.3.0, many new features and bug fixes have been added by its author Jim Talbut, but these changes never made it into newer BIRT versions.
I'm a GIT noob, I don't know if and how it is possible to choose a specifiy set of commits for a pull request. My ultimate goal would be to see these changes added to the official BIRT repository.
