Clash with ruby-units and mathn about rubyxl HOT 6 CLOSED

It looks like Unit defines .u method on Object, and that collides with xml.u in rubyXL-1.2.10/lib/rubyXL/writer/styles_writer.rb:140

Yes. Nokogiri has a workaround in case someone wanted an element named 'class' or 'object_id' - you can add an underscore at the end of the tag name to disambiguate it. It's not the cleanest solution, but it might work for now...

Do you have an idea about what might be the problem with 'mathn'?

convert_to_cell is extremely poorly written. From a quick look, I deduce the line should be:

col_string += int_val.to_i.chr

Looks like the original author has disappeared. I would take over the project, but I just don't know how it is done on github.

If you want to maintain this project and the licence allows copying, you could just fork it, rename it (to avoid confusion with the abadoned original) and push it to RubyGems. If you have the time to put some work into this project, that would be great - it has a clumsy interface and some awkward code, but as far as I know it's the only XLSX writing gem that somehow works...

The problem is, I'm a developer. I want to write code, not to fiddle around with legalities...

OK, with complete rewrite of writers, this (and similar) issues has been eliminated.
