All ODK syntaxes, commands in xlsx form

Hello,

Is there a repository of all ODK xlsx format commands , fields , syntax. I have seen my friends from Commcare have access to loads more syntax are those specially built?

My team and I are using Formhub to create an array of surveys for health related programs in India.

Thanks

Alas, no. There are two issues -- XLSForm compliance and JavaRosa compliance

And there are documented features for the underlying XML that are not yet
possible to define in the XLS file. http://opendatakit.org/help/

ยทยทยท ------------ XLSForm

There are efforts to collect the standard XLSForm features here:
http://xlsform.org/ but that doesn't yet include all the xforms features
described here: http://opendatakit.org/help/form-design/xlsform/ e.g.,
recognized columns in the settings sheet.

FormHub and ODK sites share a common XLSForm converter.

Other groups have added features for different client requirements and
either have not been required by their clients to contribute the code back
to the main tree, do not have the free time to do so on their own, or see
their extensions as value-added proprietary features.


JavaRosa

The set of functions within calculated expressions and the set of
appearance attributes varies greatly across different implementations and
is constantly being expanded. The same issues apply here as to the XLSForm
standardization, but there is much greater variability in the extensions
different groups have added to their own code.

The ODK documentation for its features is here:
