Adrien Loison 683ec52a9d Move documentation from gh-pages branch to 'docs' folder
To prepare the migration to 3.0, we need to change the location where the documentation is generated from.
Having a gh-pages branch makes it hard to synchronize the code and the docs. Having a "docs" folder in the repo itself simplifies this.

Even though a spreadsheet contains multiple sheets, you may be interested in reading only one of them and skip the other ones. Here is how you can do it with Spout:
* If you know the name of the sheet
```php?start_inline=1
$reader = ReaderFactory::create(Type:XLSX);
$reader->open($filePath);
foreach ($reader->getSheetIterator() as $sheet) {
// only read data from "summary" sheet
if ($sheet->getName() === 'summary') {
foreach ($sheet->getRowIterator() as $row) {
// do something with the row
}
break; // no need to read more sheets
}
}
$reader->close();
```
* If you know the position of the sheet
```php?start_inline=1
$reader = ReaderFactory::create(Type:XLSX);
$reader->open($filePath);
foreach ($reader->getSheetIterator() as $sheet) {
// only read data from 3rd sheet
if ($sheet->getIndex() === 2) { // index is 0-based
foreach ($sheet->getRowIterator() as $row) {
// do something with the row
}
break; // no need to read more sheets
}
}
$reader->close();
```
