height/width of table cells in a complex XTextTable

I'm continuing to work on an export module for generating
accessible html. We
currently generate the correct html for simple tables -
(ignoring cell
properties such as width/height etc). So each input table
must have a
regular structure without merged/split cells.

We now need to handle complex tables containing cells which
may have been
merged and/or split in the horizontal/vertical directions. I
understand from
the dev guide and a little experimentation that
XTableColumns and
XtableColumnSeperators are empty for a complex table. Is
there any other
method for determining the width of each cell?

Any advice or suggestions are much appreciated.

have a look at the work Henrik Just had done with his
Writer2Latex 
<http://w
ww.hj-gym.dk/%7Ehj/writer2latex/> who is the best
HTML exporter 
there is , and !he has solved already your problems

Thanks for the link. 

However, I need to parse the XTextTable directly via the API
(ie.without
saving an odt file etc). As I understand it Writer2Latex
converts the
contents of the odt. Is this correct?

no when used as exportfilter it works from within a
writerdoc

Unfortunately for our project we need to parse the writer
doc via the the OO
C++ SDK. The problem is that accessing the properties of
complex tables
(with merged/split cells) via the API is not
straightforward. 

I need to obtain the height, width, column span and row span
of each
split/merged cells. I can find the tablecolumnseparators for
each row and
iterate over each cell. 

>From the dev guide (p529) "cells can contain text
or rows." How to I
access/enumerate a "row" within a cell?
