Ryan Desmond updated TIKA-1880:
-------------------------------
Description:
When the ODS writer has first written, it made the assumption that the the
`number-columns-repeated` attribute for cells would only be used for blank
cells. This is not the case with documents created by (at least) LibreOffice
4.4.7.2.
The note in the Tika source (OpenDocumentContentParser.java#L459):
TODO: The following is not correct, the cell should be repeated not spanned!
* Code generates a HTML cell, spanning all repeated columns, to make the cell
look correct.
* Problems may occur when both spanning and repeating is given, which is not
allowed by spec.
* Cell spanning instead of repeating is not a problem, because OpenOffice
uses it
* only for empty cells.
