Step 5: Run PHP code that sets rich text format in Excel cells
Execute the following PHP code that exports rich text format (RTF) in an Excel cell.

| first cell of the second row contains data in rich text format.

Overloaded methods For methods with same name but different parameters, only the first method overload retains the original name. Subsequent overloads are uniquely renamed by appending to the method name '_2', '_3', etc (method, method_2, method_3), an integer that corresponds to the order of declaration that can be found in EasyXLS.h, a file that comes with EasyXLS installation.
