Bug ID: 94537
Summary: com.microsoft.foo functions are not correctly
documented to the user.
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.1.0.0.alpha0+ Master
Hardware: Other
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
A lot of functions are added to become more compatible to Microsoft Excel. They
are written to file in the kind of "of:com.microsoft.foo". These functions do
not belong to ODF1.2 but they are extensions done by LibreOffice.
Section 2.3.1 list item D in ODF 1.2 part 2 say, "Applications should clearly
document their extensions in their user documentation, both online and paper,
in a manner so users would be likely to be aware when they are using a
non-standard extension."
Such documentation is missing for the com.microsoft.foo kind of functions. For
example the functions STDEVP and STDEV.P have identical help texts. The user
gets no hint that STDEVP is written as 'STDEVP' and is defined in ODF1.2, and
that STDEV.P is written as 'COM.MICROSOFT.STDEV.P' and is not defined in
ODF1.2. That is a large interoperability problem.
