Broken ODS when cell value contains XML's special chars

Diego Verbrugghe — Mon, 27 Dec 2010 17:37:50 -0000

A broken ODS archive is generated when saving a sheet containing cells having special XML characters ("&", "<", etc.). Seems like those characters aren't escaped to entities.

Incorrect data returned if text cell contains UTF8

Anonymous — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 23:49:04 -0000

I had a simple spreadsheet with one cell containing this text "tá" (t and a with acute). The code returns just the second character - a-acute. The problem is in function characterData() of class ods. The PHP xmlparser code returns the text in two parts: t (0x74), and separate a-acute (0xc3 0xa1 - U+00E1). The code in function does an assignment causing the second part wiping out the first. Changing the code line around 188 and 192 ($this->sheets ...) to concatenation (.=) appears to fix the problem.

Bug - Umlaut for German

Trying to read in a ods spreadsheet with umlaut (=> German characters äöü), and these letters converted to jargon. Suspect a codepage issue?
