I don't think there is much to it, it may be a bit twisted though. - The ScDocument::ValidTabName() method that currently restricts names to valid characters should be implemented empty. Similar ScDocument::ConvertToValidTabName(). - ScCompiler::Convention::Convention() needs some bits set here and there for the non-Excel cases (not CONV_XL_A1 and not CONV_XL_R1C1) - Some parts may need a bit tweaking in ScCompiler::NextSymbol(). - Adapt ScCompiler::NextSymbol() to accept an ODFF reference (but only if the grammar set is an ODFF grammar!) enclosed in [] in one pass without trying to break it up into pieces, and feed that directly to some token creation in ScCompiler::NextNewToken() instead of falling through the !IsString() && !IsOpCode() && !IsReference() chain. This certainly is the most challenging part. However, note that implementation of compiler interna change significantly in CWS 'odff', so if you want to touch these take that CWS as base line. Otherwise patches wouldn't apply. Eike -- OOo/SO Calc core developer. Number formatter stricken i18n transpositionizer.
