Description Laurent Balland 2016-08-05 09:48:41 UTC
Created attachment 126608 [details]
Example of charts with/without title/subtitle

Description: When adding a sub-title to a chart, it is not saved in XLSX format, but it is saved in XLS format.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a chart and insert a subtitle, like in attached document
2. File > Save as, choose XLSX
3. File > Reload

Actual behavior:
Subtitles disappear

Expected behavior:
Subtitle should remain, at least like when exporting to XLS: subtitle is preserved only if there is a title, and has same format as title (because it is simply added to title with a '\n'; Excel do not have subtitle field).

Comment 2 Laurent Balland 2016-09-25 17:27:49 UTC
When exporting to Excel, title and sub-title are merged here with a "\n":
http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sc/source/filter/excel/xechart.cxx#ConvertTitle
both export to XLS and XLSX use this function.

However, if I change "\n" with another string, it appears in XLS export but NOT in XLSX export. So during XLSX export, title writing in oox is done in another place. But where?
Comment 3 Markus Mohrhard 2016-10-07 22:27:32 UTC
The problem is that OOXML does not support subtitles.

Hi Moggi,

Yes, but XLS does not support neither. When export to XLS, subtitle is concatenated to title (see comment 2).
When export to XLSX, same thing is done, but this concatenation is lost in exported file.
