Formatting options - cfsimplicity/spreadsheet-cfml GitHub Wiki

The methods formatCell, formatCellRange, formatColumn, formatColumns, formatRow and formatRows all take a format structure as an argument which can contain the keys and values below.

Note that if you are applying the same format to multiple cells it a good idea to first create the format as a cellStyle object using createCellStyle() and then pass that as the format argument (or the cellStyle argument pre-version 3.8.0). See createCellStyle() for more details.
