  Description     : C++ library to read/write Excel files (*.xlsx)

OpenXLSX gives C++ developers a feature-rich library to read and manipulate
 Excel workbook files in Office Open XML (OOXML) format (*.xlsx).

Copyright (c) 2020, Kenneth Troldal Balslev. All rights reserved.

The OpenXLSX library focuses on execution speed and memory efficiency by
performing most manipulations directly on the underlying XML via the pugixml 
library.

Among the features:
* basic worksheet manipulation (create, delete, rename, copy)
* worksheet protection (locked cells etc) with password
* basic cell manipulation (values, formulas)
* operator overloads for cell value assignment
* cell ranges, cell, row and range iterators
* unicode support in values and filenames
* cell formatting (document styles) & conditional formatting
* cell merging / unmerging
* cell comments
* support for documents created by 3rd part applications with custom XML 
namespaces and random relationship identifiers

The library is in active development and many more features are on the
to-do list.

I am both a user of and a maintainer for the project, and this is - to my
knowledge - the C++ XLSX library with by far the most features.

- the upstream library will continue to be maintained by the author and myself,
  while I plan to maintain the debian package myself as well. 
- I am in need of a sponsor
- since this is my first time proposing a debian package, I would
  appreciate a co-maintainer to guide me through this (I am following
  the debian-mentors group in matrix)

Note: Due to current unavailability of the author, I am temporarily
hosting the project on the above indicated repository under my
username. Once the author is available to assume ownership of the
repository, it will be moved to https://codeberg.org/troldal/OpenXLSX
