Also consolidate documentation in a single place, not in the README,
because it's a pain to maintain almost-duplicated-but-not-really
documentation.
Rector no longer supports conversion from PhpExcel (issue #3953). Documentation is updated to suggest using a non-current release of Rector for conversion.
Fix#3951. When an Excel sheet is protected, even when sorting is explicitly allowed without a password, sorts are permitted only on "protected ranges" within the sheet. PhpSpreadsheet already supports protected ranges, and only minor tinkering is necessary for that (e.g. the protected range can have, but does not require, a password). The more important part of this change is documenting the far-from-intuitive way that Excel handles this. To that end, documentation is updated, and a new sample is added.
A new class, `Worksheet\ProtectedRange` is added in place of the string array which had been used. `Worksheet::getProtectedCells` is deprecated in favor of the new `Worksheet::getProtectedCellRanges`.
It pointed out a problem that I would have thought should result in test failure. Code corrected, and documentation updated to describe the unexpected behavior.
Fix#3866. Excel normally treats a missing argument (e.g. `PRODUCT(2,3,)`) as null and ignores it. Not so for MIN/MAX/MINA/MAXA; for those, an empty argument is treated as zero. PhpSpreadsheet is changed to do the same.
* Unexpected Namespacing in rels File
Fix#3720. Third-party product created a spreadsheet which PhpSpreadsheet could not read because of unexpected namespacing in workbook.xml.rels.
The file which demonstrated the problem was attached to #3423, however I do not believe it was related to the original problem. Nevertheless, the original issue specifically called out Protection, so I put some Protection tests in the validation test for the fix. In doing so, I found that Style/Protection is particularly confusing. Its properties will often have the value `inherit`, which isn't all that helpful; and, even when the `locked` value is `protected`, the cell won't actually be locked unless the sheet is protected as well. The `hidden` property is even more obscure - it applies only to formulas, and refers to hiding the property on the formula bar, not in the cell. I have added methods `isLocked` and `isHiddenOnFormulaBar` to `Cell`. I corrected the docs to explain this. And, as long as I was looking at the docs, I corrected some examples to use `getHighestDataRow/Column` rather than `getHighestRow/Column`, a frequent problem for users (e.g. #3721).
As a side note, the change to Cell.php is my first use of the nullsafe operator. This is one of many new options available now that we require Php8.0+.
* Minor Simplifications
* Scrutinizer
It's being silly again. In many tests, we test a variable for non-null, then use that variable later and Scrutinizer knows it's not null. Not here. Oh well.
* Add Methods
Test if protected without allocating cell if it doesn't exist.

Fixes#3634Closes#3710
Fixed typo in code examples in name of variable `$columnAddress` that was wrongly shortened to `$column`. Long version of the variable name $columnAddress is used in the corresponding samples scripts so now the docs match the samples.
* Font Themes
It isn't a feature of Excel that I've made any use of, but PR #3476 added better Theme support for colors, and it is relatively easy to add Theme support for Fonts on top of that.
Excel assigns two theme fonts to its spreadsheets, one for Headings (major), and one for Body (minor). If the body theme is Calibri, when you choose a font for a cell in Excel, you can choose 'Calibri (Body)' from the Theme Fonts section at the top of the Font dropdown, or 'Calibri' from the 'All Fonts' section. If you choose the former, the cell will be automatically restyled if you change the Theme Fonts (via Page Layout, Themes, Fonts). The relationship to the theme fonts is recorded in the XML via a `scheme` tag (descending from `font`) whose `val` attribute can be either `major` or `minor`. Accordingly, this PR, in addition to defining the Theme Font properties, adds a `scheme` property, with getter and setter, to Style/Font.
The main benefit of this PR is that you can now load and save a spreadsheet preserving the connections to the Theme Fonts, without having to take any additional action.
A secondary benefit arises from the following difference. Empty cells in Excel will use the spreadsheet's default font name when they are filled in; but, in Google Sheets, they will use the Theme Minor Font name. By setting the `scheme` property in the default style, the resulting spreadsheet will behave the same in both Excel and Google.
I will note that Excel's font themes specify a Latin font, an East Asian font, a Complex Scripts font, and a set of font substitutions for various languages. PhpSpreadsheet will preserve all of these, and allow them to be changed. However, although it is easy to imagine how the non-Latin options might work, I have not yet been able to come up with an example where Excel uses any of them. In particular, if I use a theme font which does not support language X, and I use Language X in a cell bound to the theme, Excel will use a substitution font which does support it, but the font which it uses does not seem to be chosen from the alternatives supplied in the theme.
* Scrutinizer
The sun rises in the east, and Scrutinizer issues more false positives.
* WIP Conditional Formatting Improvements for Xlsx
Fix#3370. Conditional styles are always generated with 5 borders (right, left, top, bottom, diagonal) even though the border style is none in each case. For the spreadsheet in question, top and bottom were inappropriate and interfered with the desired formatting. A new border style, BORDER_OMIT is added which will cause the Xlsx Writer to not generate that style. All conditional borders will be initialized with that value. Any border included in the Xml will, of course, change it to the specified type.
Fix#3202. User wants a condition to use "No format set" as you can in Excel. A new boolean property `$noFormatSet`, along with setter and getter, is added to Style/Conditional. It is initialized to false. User can call setter to change it. More importantly for the issue in question, if the Xlsx Reader encounters a `cfRule` tag which does not have a `dxfId` attribute (i.e. no style is associated with the rule), it will set noFormatSet to true. Similarly, the Xlsx writer will not generate a `dfxId` tag when noFormatSet is true.
This change is applicable only to Xlsx. Html, Csv, and Ods do not have support for Conditional Formatting. Limited support was added to Xls with PR #2696 in April 2022 and PR #2702 about a month later. However, with the current release code, Xls equivalents of the two new test spreadsheets in this PR are too complicated to be handled correctly by PhpSpreadsheet - loading and then saving them as Xls results in Excel complaining of corruption, and the results don't meet expectations. Since I have no idea how BIFF works, and since the problems with those spreadsheets are not caused by this PR, I am not planning to address those problems at this time.
* Update Documentation, Write Alignment and Font Less Often
It doesn't cause any particular harm except for small increases in file size and run time, but Alignment tags are written even when (a) all its attributes are null for Conditional Formatting, and (b) when the xml specifically indicates that Alignment should not be applied. Similarly, Font is written even when all its attributes are null for Conditional Formatting.
There are some errors in the Conditional Formatting documentation. Specifying a solid fill color in a Conditional Style requires the use of endColor, not StartColor. The discussion of Order of Evaluating is not entirely accurate. I have changed it to what I believe is an accurate explanation of how Excel works; and also added a mention that other spreadsheet programs might not work the same way, adding a couple of illustrations of the difference. The description of the multiple conditions did not quite match the diagram. 'Stop if true' was a blank paragraph; it is now described, and the new 'No format set' option is described in that paragraph since (I think) it would be used most often in conjunction with 'Stop if true'.
* Xlsx Writer Allow StartColor for Conditional Solid Fill
To set a solid fill in a non-conditional style, you set StartColor (xml will use that value as fgColor and a default value as bgColor). If you instead set EndColor (xml will use that value as bgColor and a default value as fgColor), the styling will not work as expected.
However, for conditional styles, if you set StartColor (xml will use that value as fgColor and not specify bgColor), the styling will not work as expected. If you instead set EndColor (xml will use that value as bgColor and not specify fgColor), the styling will work as expected.
Together, this means that you need to use different methods for non-conditional style fill than for conditional style fill. This isn't a big problem, but it is a bit weird. This PR changes Xlsx Writer so that if (a) fill is olid and (b) startColor is specified and (c) endColor is null, the xml will be written as bgColor without specifying fgColor. This means that you can set StartColor for both conditional and non-conditional and get the expected styling. You may, of course, continue to specify EndColor instead for conditional.
* Fix Some (Not Many) Xls Problems
I will open an issue for the (pre-existing) remainder.
* Permit Max Column for Row Breaks
Fix#3143. Page break was dropped. Difference between good and bad was the use of attribute `max` in `brk` tag in the good spreadsheet. However, `max` was *not* required in a similar spreadsheet. So the reason for the problem isn't completely explained. Nevertheless, it can't really hurt to capture the `max` value on read (if present) and generate it on write. This resolves the issue. User is also permitted to specify max column when setting a row break programatically. I am not yet in position to document when that might be a good idea.
* Case-sensitive Directory Name
Not a problem on my Windows system.
* Update Documentation and Add Tests
Change is necessitated by probable Excel bug.
* Unhappy With Initial Implementation
I kind of shoe-horned it in. Better to create a new PageBreak class, which will make it easier to accomodate any future surprises about page break handling. The only difficulty with the new approach is making sure getBreaks maintains backwards compatibility. New tests will ensure that.
* WIP Limited Support for Form Controls V2 (ListBox, Buttons, etc.)
This is a replacement for draft PR #2455 and draft PR #3127. There is some useful commentary in those PRs which I have mostly, but not entirely, duplicated below. Fix#2396. Fix#1770. Fix#2388.
A related problem is that the vml files used for the form controls sometimes contain invalid xml. Fix#3125 (rejected previous PR #1181 as too risky, issue was also reported as #170). Vml file should be valid Xml, but Excel can generate unclosed `<br>` tags, preventing Xlsx reader from reading file correctly. I believe a very narrowly targeted fix, changing `<br>` to `<br/>`, and only when reading vml files, probably mitigates the risk. The sample file formscomments.xlsx which is part of this change shows this problem with `Button 1` on sheet `Forms`; the spreadsheet was created with Excel 365, so the problem is not restricted to Excel 2013 as originally reported. A comment on PR 3127 indicates that other tags might be involved, but, without a file demonstrating that, I will restrict this change to br tags for now.
I am starting this out in draft status, and will probably leave it that way for some time. I'm not sure where we want to go with this. It fixes some problems, but in a limited manner, and creates some others. I'm not sure the pain of the others is balanced considering the limitations of the fix. If enough interest is generated as a result of this ticket being out there, we can proceed; if not, it probably isn't worth it.
This fix allows form control elements to be read in and written out. It does not allow you to add such elements, nor even to locate them or determine their properties (so you can't modify or delete them). Although it handles reading and writing of sheets containing both form controls and comments, it will probably create a corrupt spreadsheet if you try adding a new comment to a sheet with form controls - probably quite difficult to solve. Cloning the sheet probably won't work either - probably easier than the other. It is conceivable that we want to add a new property to the Xlsx Reader which turns the reading of form elements on or off (default=off), so that negative effects will be limited to those who have explictly opted in. The change in its current form does not implement such a property.
Because of its limitations, the change isn't really testable. As in some other recent installs, I have added a sample to demonstrate that it works correctly.
As it turns out, if we have a worksheet which contains both form controls and comments (see formscomments.xlsx which is part of this PR), PhpSpreadsheet already creates a corrupt file when it tries to load and save the spreadsheet with such a worksheet. With this change, the file is saved without corruption. This tilts things in favor of proceeding. I'm still not ready, but this will be an important consideration.
A sample file for issue #2621 illustrated a problem with shape files. Since they are involved here, I took a look at how the sample worked with this code. In master, and with this change, a corrupt file results. Fixing that is probably easier than the general problem of handling shape files, but it's an argument against moving this forward until the corruption problem can be addressed.
Fix#2661. A template including checkboxes was leading to file corruption solved by this PR. Another argument for moving forward.
* Improved Sample File, and Documentation
Add more realistic worksheet to spreadsheet. Document new feature, adding caveats to how it can be used.
* Namespace-Aware Code for SheetViewOptions, SheetProtection (minor break)
This is fairly straightforward for SheetViewOptions.
SheetProtection is a bit less straightforward. All the attributes should allow for null as well as boolean; this is especially important because Excel defaults to true for some of them and false for others (existing code always treated attributes missing from the XML as false). DocBlocks are updated to indicate the defaults. The test for isProtectionEnabled is changed to reflect this reality. Also, PhpSpreadsheet has been using true/false when writing these, but Excel uses 1/0. Because of these differences, this is a breaking change, but the consequences of the breaks should be minor. Two unit test results needed to change.
Remaining areas in Reader/Xlsx which still use the namespace-unaware code include conditional formatting (internal or external), auto filters, unparsed loaded data, data validation (internal or external), alternate content, and header/footer images.
* Corrections to Xls Reader and Writer
New test and changed sample to go with code changes. Also doc change.
* Permit Date/Time Entered on Spreadsheet to be Calculated as Float
Fix#1416. I do not entirely understand the use case for this old issue, but resolving it seems straightforward. Issue complains that user-entered date/time fields may be interpreted as either float or int when PhpSpreadsheet reads them. Issue suggests getCalculatedValue treat all date/time fields as float; that seems like a breaking change. However, adding an option to permit it seems okay. That option might be implemented as either a property of Calculation, or a static property of Cell. Since the changed logic is found in Cell (and Shared/Date), I opted for the latter.
In Cell, the property `$parent` is incorrectly described in doc block as `Cells`, and should be `?Cells`. This change eliminates some Phpstan and Scrutinizer problems, and should allow the elimination of some try/catch blocks - I have not done an exhaustive search for those.
Calls to `isDateTime` could have affected activeSheet and selectedCells; they no longer can. Optional parameters are added to it and the functions it calls to accommodate the new functionality; the defaults for the new parameters will, of course, return the same result as the earlier versions of the functions would have returned.
* Scrutinizer - Self-inflicted
Tests used constant which I deprecated.
Fix#1681, although probably not to the originator's satisfaction. Html and Xml readers will handle documents only with a charset of UTF-8. This PR documents that restriction. No change to source code; see the original issue for explanation.
Fix#2840 (and also #2839 but that's Q&A, not an issue). Csv Reader does not populate cells which contain null string. This PR provides an option for the reader to store null strings as it does with any other string.
