Description:
Processing of OpenOffice files is useful, but tables containing merged cells are not handled properly, preventing the use of many OpenOffice documents with Forrest.

If you merge two cells in OOo you get this attribute: table:number-columns-spanned="2" and this could translate into the HTML colspan="2" attribute. But it's not happening - does this first require an enhancement of the Forrest DTD? Which seems to contain the following:

<!ENTITY % cell.span 'colspan CDATA "1"
         rowspan CDATA "1"'> and 

<!ATTLIST td
  %common.att; 
  %cell.span; 

Does this prevent cells from spanning rows and columns?
