xl

xl imitates Microsoft Excel without shame but falls three letters short. Currently xl can only view very simple spreadsheets that are saved as tab-separated values.

If you have Excel you can save your spreadsheet as a .tsv file which xl can read. If you don't have Excel you can use xls2txt on Plan 9 to extract tab-separated values from an .xls file.

If necessary, convert the character set to UTF-8 using tcs.

Installation

xl is written in Lua and requires lua9.

Synopsis

% xl sheet

The VGA font which is the default on 9front does not look great. You will get a nicer looking sheet using Tahoma or Lucida Sans:

% font=/usr/k/lib/font/bit/tahoma/unicode.11.font xl sheet

% font=/lib/font/bit/lucidasans/unicode.7.font xl sheet
