Gnumeric allows you to save data as an html fragment. That is, use PHP or CGI to include the fragment in the body portion of a wrapper (or the header / footer if you are into that sort of thing). Mucho faster / easier than trying to add CSS notation to a stand alone html page.
I have another website I am developing content for and I will be including a simple spreadsheet tracking compost temperatures using this method. http://organic-earth.com
It's pretty new and a lot of the content is still lurking in the shadows but I can tell you for a certainty that the spreadsheet is coming. Gnumeric's ability to save an html fragment will make a big difference with a web page updated daily by hand. All I will have to do is open Gnumeric, edit the data and save to the old filename. Done. Eventually there will be svga graphs to match.
If I had to save a complete file each day, I would have to save it, edit it, move it (so visitors wouldn't see a scrambled mess with no CSS). This way, I simply overwrite the previous file and the next time the page is accessed, it gets the new data.
I just wish I could find a wordprocessor that would do the same thing. Does anybody know of one?
