cryptic english

Hi

Can someone improve or rephrase the following string:

wikiformats.xhp#par_id8253730.help.text

OpenDocument and especially LibreOffice represent tables that have joined cells that span rows as tables with nested tables. In contrast, the wiki model of table is to declare column and row spans for such joined cells.

Thanks

+1 :slight_smile:

If you ask for the meaning, it's:

In OOO internal representation, a cell which spans the rows is represented by nested table.
In wiki representation, a cell which spans the rows is represented by column and row spans.

That's the reason why you can't export cells which span the rows to a wiki format.
