Convert Excel to Wiki while maintaining formatting

Project description

ExcelToWiki

Use is trivial as shown below:

from exceltowiki import exceltowiki
# if you want || double-pipe style wiki output then set INLINE_FMT=True (default)
# if you want | single-pipe line-by-line style wiki output then set INLINE_FMT=False
import exceltowiki
exceltowiki.INLINE_FMT=True

e2w = excelToWiki("./test.xlsx")
# print sheet names in the excel workbook
print e2w.sheetnames
# print wiki text for sheet named Sheet1
print e2w.getSheet("Sheet1")
# print wiki text for entire workbook
print e2w.getWorkbook()

Options are:

exceltowiki(excelworkbook, [list of sheet names to process], caption foreground color, caption background color)

Where caption is set from the sheet name (no way to currently modify this).

Features

exceltowiki can capture:

  • Font styling: bold, underline, strikethrough

  • Cell styling: foregroudn color, background color

  • Sheet features: merged cells are captured, sheet name is captured as caption to the wiki table

exceltowiki currently cannot capture anything more complex than the above list. Features such as ‘format as table’, conditional formatting, and other advanced items are not inspected or captured. For these, only the data value in the cells will be captured.
