Ability to iterate foreach tag across tabs in excel spreadsheet
I think it would be beneficial to have the ability to iterate a foreach tag across tabs in excel. i.e. - for each row, display the data on a separate tab in the spreadsheet.

Dwecks book emphasizes that those who excel in fields didn't achieve success overnight. Many of them initially held fixed mindsets. We're able to accomplish things by adopting a growth mindset. The book highlights the impact our beliefs and mindset have on shaping our lives.

Predictable and consistent handling of empty collections in ForEach tags
Have Windward's ForEAch tag behave consistently towards empty collections.
In XSLT as in any programming language where a "foreach" like operator exists, when the collection to loop over is empty, the loop iterates 0 times.
Take for instance this XSLT:
https://xsltfiddle.liberty-development.net/gWmsLAH
Change the XML to contain no Book elements. It will iterate 0 times.Windward behaves differently. Sometimes. Sometimes it iterates 0 times as expected. Sometimes it raises an exception, making Windward unpredictable and unreliable.
See https://support.apryse.com/support/tickets/50936My improvment idea: make Windward predictable en reliable by having it implement the expected behaviour in all cases: iterate 0 times over empty…

In TEXT function, accept locale settings for the format, or at least let us specify decimal/thousands separators
For the moment, the only ways to define a locale for formatting numbers (esp. decimal and thousand separators) is by using the general option (hence fixed) or an OUT tag (hardcoded).
Our concern is that we produce documents in 25+ languages, for potentially 35+ countries, leading to a huge number of combinations. Having only fixed/hardcoded formats is therefore a problem.
Also, we use a lot of variables to manipulate our data.Consequently, having a good TEXT function would be of great help to us. The possibility to specify a locale (language+country), or at least a language, in the format of…

In OUT and SET tags, accept variables inside the format
For the moment, Windward only accepts hardcoded format in the "Format" property of OUT tags.
We have a concern because our documents (MS Word) are produced for a lot of countries and languages, making the formatting of the outputs quite a challenge. With hardcoded formats only, we are unable to change the format according to our needs.Hence allowing the "Format" property to use variables would solve — or at least alleviate — the issue, by allowing us to use a format that is not fixed in advance but could be changed in every document depending on data.
For the…

Add format to SET tag
Similarly to OUT tags, I would like to see a "Format" property in SET tags, so that we can cast numbers to text variables with a proper format.
This is needed, among other reasons, because the "Format" property of OUT tags is more powerful (has more features) than the functions provided by Windward (esp. the TEXT function). Notably, the Format of OUT tags allows the use of a locale to define the format (decimal and grouping separators), which the TEXT function does not accept.This idea is similar to :

Auto-rotate included PDFs
In our test summary report, when we generate the document, we need to include PDF files (pulling from our database) into the document occasionally.
Ideally, I think the user should always save the PDF in the same orientation either vertical or horizontal. However, in reality, users do not always do things in the same way.As a result, when we generate the report with PDF included, the PDF cannot always be displayed in the test summary properly. The "horizontal" PDFs get cut off on the right side. If we had a way to auto-rotate the PDF, then we could assure…

Add support for Excel tab colors in the Windward Core .NET Engine
Currently, the Windward Core .NET Engine does not support Excel tab colors. If a user creates an Excel template that includes colored tabs in Windward Designer, the Windward .NET Engine will generate output files with no tab coloring. Please enhance the .NET engine so that tab colors are retained when generating output.

XLSM support
We have a client that we generate reports for who has a macro enabled spreadsheet they want us to re-produce.
It's been a while and I wanted to check in. Does windward still not support XLSM or any macro-enabled spreadsheets? (We're using the .NET engine).
We would like this available so our client can use macro-enabled spreadsheets.

Page Break advanced property
Develop a Page Break advanced property for the ForEach tag that does not start with the first iteration but rather with the second iteration so that if the ForEach tag is at the beginning of the document template, a blank page does not render for that first iteration.

Faster opening Windward templates (data source timeout)
We often use XML data sources hosted by a local development server. When this server is not available (not started or not a developer machine), WindWard Designer takes an big amount of time to figurfe out the resource is not available. As a result, a document takes about 2 minutes per data source to open. Our documents often have 2 data sources making it 4 minutes, etc.
See video:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/q52y77v6yeh6eyk/4MinutesToOpenWindwardTemplate.mp4?dl=0The attached document is the one used in the video, but it occurs with any document of which the datasource points to localhost while the server is not running.

Support for Office document properties
This feature request is about Microsoft Office properties as described on this link : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/view-or-change-the-properties-for-an-office-file-21d604c2-481e-4379-8e54-1dd4622c6b75
Actually we would need 2 things.
First, we would like to insert (static) properties in our Microsoft Word templates (docx or docm), and when we generate a new document, we would like this new document to keep these properties. Today it is not the case (I've checked).
Second, we would like the possibility to provide dynamic values for these properties, these values coming from our json datasource. Maybe this one is a bit more complex, but for example I would see the possibility to have…
