------- Additional comments from hardco...@openoffice.org Mon Jun 14 11:46:48 +0000 2010 ------- It has taken me a very long time to find an envelope for the following behavior. I have some charts that are being generated programmatically and added to an existing file. Basically I create a chart, some data, and a few styles, and stick them into the document tree at a reasonable point. This works fine until I start trying to apply time/date formatting to values on my X axis. I find that I'm able to use a style like this: <number:date-style style:name="N2"><number:month number:style="long"/><number:text>/</number:text><number:day number:style="long"/><number:text>/</number:text><number:year number:style="long"/></number:date-style> But if replace the second '/' with, say, '-': <number:date-style style:name="N2"><number:month number:style="long"/><number:text>/</number:text><number:day number:style="long"/><number:text>-</number:text><number:year number:style="long"/></number:date-style> then when my document opens and the chart is rendered, the dates show up as floating point numbers with no formatting. I can use the chart editor to change the format for the X axis to what I should be seeing and then save the document. OO writes it out in the canonical form, separating the chart out into an embedded object. The automatic style is exactly the same: <number:date-style style:name="N116"> <number:month number:style="long"/> <number:text>/</number:text> <number:day number:style="long"/> <number:text>-</number:text> <number:year number:style="long"/> And when I open the document, the formatting works just fine. It appears to me that in the circumstances I have, OO only accepts a small number of formats and rejects everything else, despite the XML being perfectly reasonable ODF and being the same as what OO writes out and parses correctly in its canonical format. HH:MM:SS works, HH:MM works, MM/DD/YYYY works; any variation seems to be ignored. (More may work -- I don't know. I just figured this out.) What's going on here? Have I missed something? Is there a workaround that doesn't involve creating embedded objects? (That's not necessarily a big deal for me, but it is more work.) Why does this not work as it seems it should? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
