Rendering Documents with Comments
From version 17.8.0, we have extended the support of rendering document comments. Now, rendering comments into HTML and PDF is supported for Microsoft Power Point. Furthermore, rendering comments into HTML is supported for MS Excel and OpenDocument spreadsheet. For more details on rendering documents with comments, please visit this documentation article.Ignoring Empty Rows when Rendering Cells Documents
Sometimes Cells document contains information in the beginning of the worksheet and after that, it contains some count of empty (blank) rows and information again e.g. summary row. Rendering complete worksheet may take considerable time and may result in decreased performance. Starting from 17.8.0, we introduced a new option, CellsOptions.IgnoreEmptyRows, which allows omitting rendering of empty rows.
