Hi Hussein,
I've just been trying out the Spreadsheet extensions to XXE. This is really
interesting, and a very neat solution.
One question though. I've worked through the tutorial, which is obviously on
an XHTML document. For me, I'd want to do this on a DITA topic. However, in
the latter document, I can't get the formulas to work with element ids.
So I have:
<p>In 2009 we made £<ph id="previous">234</ph></p>
But the formula:
<p>Previous = <?xxe-formula formula='=$(previous)'?></p>
does not return a result (but no error).
However, the XPath version:
<p>Previous = <?xxe-formula formula='=`//*...@id='previous']`'?></p>
does work.
Similar behaviour happens when the referenced element is a <stentry>.
What am I doing wrong here?
