OpenXML: Option to extract XLSX by column rather than by row
Issue #709
new
The XLSX worksheet format is row-oriented, and so we extract it in row order: everything from row 1 is extracted, then everything from row 2, etc.
There are situations where users may want to extract by column first, for contextual reasons. This is sort of annoying to do on a parsing level, but is possible. (It is also probably a precondition to handling bilingual/multilingual XLSX, which is a more common request.)
I’ve managed to order the row/column tag name to column using PHP by parsing the
resname
attribute of the extracted XLIFF file.I will be planning to implement this to Okapi soon
