Writing HTML with Python xlwt module

I'm using xlwt to write an Excel formatted file, and I want to include html in a cell. What parameters do I need开发者_如何学运维 to provide to hint that Excel should render the content?

If you can do it manually using the Excel 2003 user interface, then there's some chance of doing it with current xlwt, or making xlwt do it. Please edit your question to show what keyboard/mouse actions are required.

If you can't do it manually, then xlwt definitely can't do it either. Have you explored all the cell formatting possibilities? What is the underlying user requirement? Would it be satisfied by a link to a web page?

See relevant SO question here.

By the way: (1) I'm the maintainer of xlwt. (2) Consider asking questions on the python-excel forum (see http://www.python-excel.org) ... they are likely to be answered faster than here.
