Hi,

thanks for the new version. This is much appreciated and the new options
on paper size and orientation work nicely.

One issue that I found:

When I have a Tcl script encoded in utf-8 and that script writes the
xlsx file, then umlauts come out weird. Is there an option that can
handle this or does ooxml assume or expect text input to be in a
specific encoding?


And an idea:

When formatting cells using the  '-style' option of the 'cell' method,
it would be cool to be able to specify more than one style (e.g. as a
list of styleIDs). Then you could have one style for font styling and
another for borders and then combine those two to get cells with a
specific font and border. Conflicting elements of two different styles
of the list could be handled so that a style later in the list would
overwrite settings for the identical option in a previous style in the
list.

Regards, Torsten
