Hi,

HSSF supports outlining. Look at

http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/hssf/quick-guide.html#Outlining

Is it what you need? What version of POI are you using?

Try the latest POI 3.0 release candidate. This can be downloaded from:
        http://people.apache.org/~nick/POI-3.0-RC1/

Yegor

RN> Hi,

RN> I am working on an application for which I need to generate Excel
RN> spreadsheets with outlining. I read in the Limitations section on the
RN> HSSF website that this is not possible at the moment. I have found a
RN> Perl module, SpreadSheet::WriteExcel (on CPAN), that does exactly what
RN> I want.

RN> Unfortunately (in this respect), I'm not using Perl for this project
RN> but Java. It is easy enough for me to write a Perl script, pass the
RN> data from Java to Perl through some IPC mechanism, and then pass the
RN> resulting spreadsheet back. However, it would be much more satisfying
RN> if I could do this all in Java with HSSF.

RN> What are the issues with porting the outlining code from Perl as
RN> regards licensing? If they are surmountable, I would definitely be
RN> willing to spend some time doing it (with the guidance of the HSSF
RN> developers).

RN> Regards
RN> Ramon
