-    \title Xlsx Readwrite Example
-    \example readwrite
-    \brief Open an existing xlsx file, modify and save it.
-    \ingroup qtxlsx-examples
-
-    This example demonstrates how to modify an existing
-    .xlsx file with Qt Xlsx Library.
-
-    \image readwrite.png
-
-    At first, we create an empty xlsx file, set the properties of the document,
-    write some content to the worksheet, then save it.    
-    \snippet readwrite/main.cpp 0
-
-    Then we open the exists xlsx file, add some data to it.
-    \snippet readwrite/main.cpp 1
