Excel:...Locked(3pm)
π Excel::Template::Container::Locked π
okay bestie, this is the manual page for Excel::Template::Container::Locked β it's a Perl module, it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section (that's the 3pm part, iykyk), and it's here to make your spreadsheet cells go π locked mode. let's get into it π
β¨ NAME β¨
Excel::Template::Container::Locked β literally just Excel::Template::Container::Locked, that's the whole name, no notes π
π PURPOSE π
to format all of its children in locked π
that's it. that's the job. main character energy fr fr.
π¦ NODE NAME π¦
LOCKED
yep, all caps, that's the vibe. when you see LOCKED in your template, that's this node showing up π
πΈ INHERITANCE πΈ
Excel::Template::Container::Format
so it's inheriting from Format β it's giving nepo baby but make it legit, because all that formatting DNA is coming along for the ride π§
β ATTRIBUTES β
None
like, zero. none. not a single one. it's minimal, it's clean, it's β¨ unbothered β¨
π CHILDREN π
None
no children of its own, it just adopts the ones you put inside it π«Ά
π EFFECTS π
None
no side effects, no sneaky surprises. we love a low-drama node π
π DEPENDENCIES π
okay this one actually matters, so listen up:
you must have protected the worksheet containing any cells that are affected by this format. otherwise, this node will have no effect.
π¨ no cap, if the sheet isn't protected, this whole thing does absolutely nothing. it's just gonna sit there looking cute and doing zero. protect the worksheet first, bestie, or don't bother π
π USAGE π
<locked>
... Children here
</locked>
so in the example above, the children will be displayed (if they're displaying elements) in a locked format. all other formatting stays exactly the same, and the "locked"-ness ends at the end tag β it does not leak out past </locked>, periodt π₯
