Generating XLS from XML +

If you wish to generate an XLS file from some XML, it is possible to +write your own XML processing code, then use the User API to write out +the document.

The other option is to use Cocoon. +In Cocoon, there is the HSSF Serializer, +which takes in XML (in the gnumeric format), and outputs an XLS file for you.
