 * Dear Michael
 * First of all, I would like to sincerely THANK YOU for this excellent plugin, 
   and more specifically for the introduction of Excel .xlsx exports in version 
   2.10.
 * That feature really changed my life, due to recurring issues with the CSV exports:
   UTF8 support, multi-line data in text fields, non-standard delimiters (‘;’) in
   French-localized versions of Excel, etc. That all belongs in the past now, the
   xlsx option is just perfect !
 * The next logical step for me, would be to allow the same format in the [cfdb-
   export-link] shortcode as well. Do you think that could be implemented in a future
   version ?
 * Thanks in advance
    Damien

 * You can make that short code produce .xlsx file by adding to it: enc=”xlsx”
 * For example:
 * [cfdb-export-link form=”Form Name” enc=”xlsx”]
 * I realize now that the shortcode builder page does not allow you to add that 
   option. I’ll fix that.

 * Hello Michael,
 * Many thanks for your prompt feedback, and the improvement to the shortcode builder
   page in 2.10.3. I just tested the updated functionality and it works great !
 * I was going say that the new encoding options were missing from the documentation
   page [http://cfdbplugin.com/?page_id=419](http://cfdbplugin.com/?page_id=419),
   but I just saw you updated that too 🙂
 * Just one nitpick: it’s _Libr**e**Office_, not _LibraOffice_.
 * Thanks again for your support.
