Is there something I'm missing? Well what are you thinking? Perhaps I don't understand your idea. With yours wouldnt I have to add custom xsl format tags in the output for the template so that when it gets passed to build_excel, it can parse again and call the appropriate format routines? I was thinking more along the lines of being able to apply formatting information via the template itself... say with a plugin... so i could do something vaguely like have the template load the proper formatting plugin which would know how to construct a row, column, apply ( or disregard ) formatting as needed. so a csv would bring in version of say add column/add_row that puts seps them with , and \n resp while a xsl would call the appropriate functions in WriteExcel csv would ignore formatting info, xsl wouldnt... mind you i have thought this all the way through but it is my general thoughts...
