Description Andy Oliver 2002-10-08 20:29:01 UTC 
The HowTo and FAQ and a number of docs state things that are no longer true for
2.0.  Such as support for internationalization which has progressed
significantly, support for custom formats:

 I want to set a cell format (Data format of a cell) of a excel sheet
as###,###,###.#### or ###,###,###.0000. Is it possible using POI ?

HSSF does not yet support custom data formats, however, it should be a
reasonably easy facillity to add and we'll gladly accept contributions in this
area. These are the built in formats that it does support:
http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/javadocs/javasrc/org/apache/poi/hssf/usermodel/HSSFDataFormat_java.html#HSSFDataFormat


and otehr things...  We just need to go clean these up before they start to rot
and confuse.

We need to do this before final release

I believe that all docs DO reflect current state.
