Description: Please implement export/import of Calc sheets into/from text tables in plain text files. See an example of such tables here: https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/273783/how-to-save-a-sheet-as-a-text-table/ As far as I know only Emacs can create such text tables. It would be nice if LO would be able to do it as well. Pandoc's grid_tables extension might be used as a reference: https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html Steps to Reproduce: 1. In Calc: File -> Export as... 2. In Calc: File -> Import as... 3. Actual Results: No option "Text table" Expected Results: There should be a "Text table" for both - export and import Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Pandoc's grid_tables extension might be used as a reference: https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html

Would be a nice enhancement. But as stated on ask, realizing per macro/extension is perhaps more flexible- and faster implemented. I would not think about an import filter but restrict it to export.
Export is definitely more important, but in the long run - if you implement only export - then you cause a sort of data loss, because you can't edit your plain text tables anymore in LO. CSV works both ways... I think this enhancement is close to CSV export/import... It would be very convenient to store such readable tables in git. Anyway - Heiko, thank you for considering this enhancement. Does the status change means this will be implemented in the next release?
