Viewer for Microsoft Excel XLST files

Description

This plugin allows uploaded Excel files on the Trac wiki or in tickets to be viewed in the web browser as a HTML table. It allows users to easily view the files without downloading and saving the Excel files and without even requiring Microsoft Excel.

As a use case, upload an Excel document from an up-to-date version of Microsoft Excel as an attachment. As long as it is in the new xlst format the plugin will show the contents in preview mode.
