ATTRIBUTES

• TEXT

  This is the text to write to the cell. This can either be text or a parameter with a dollar-sign in front of the parameter name.

• COL

  Optionally, you can specify which column you want this cell to be in. It can be either a number (zero-based) or an offset. See Excel::Template for more info on offset-based numbering.

EFFECTS

This will consume one column on the current row.

DEPENDENCIES

None

USAGE

<cell text="Some Text Here"/>
<cell>Some other text here</cell>

<cell text="$Param2"/>
<cell>Some <var name="Param"> text here</cell>

In the above example, four cells are written out. The first two have text hard- coded. The second two have variables. The third and fourth items have another thing that should be noted. If you have text where you want a variable in the middle, you have to use the latter form. Variables within parameters are the entire parameter's value.

Please see Spreadsheet::WriteExcel for what constitutes a legal formula.

BACK-REFERENCES

Currently, you can only use a hard-coded formula. The next release will add the capability to have a formula reference other nodes in the template dynamically.
