+/** describes all items of a DDE connection used in formulas.
+
+    <p>A DDE connection consists of the DDE service name, the DDE topic and a
+    list of DDE items which may contain results cached from the last update.</p>
+
+    <p>The formula that would need this information for example would contain
+    <code>=[1]!'R1C1'</code> or <code>=[2]!'Sheet1.A1'</code> where
+    <em>[1]</em> is an external link with DDE service name "excel" and the
+    topic "X:\PATH\[FILE.XLSX]Sheet1", and <em>[2]</em> contains service
+    "soffice" and topic "file:///X:/PATH/FILE.ODS". The service name is stored
+    in <member>DDELinkInfo::Service</member>, the topic is stored in
+    <member>DDELinkInfo::Topic</member>. Note that if the DDE item contains
+    single quotes they are escaped by doubling them, as usual, for example
+    <code>=[2]!'''Sheet name''.A1'</code> in a "soffice" service.</p>
