PDF::Create and similar

[Dan Rowles]

I can heartily recommend latex for generating reports in PDF format. 
There is something of a learning curve, but it is thoroughly worth the 
effort.

And, as latex is text based, it is really simple to generate the latex 
using tt2. Images and graphs are no problem either (PostScript and PNG 
both get included in the final PDF just fine).

I have *no idea* about generating HTML from latex, though, although I 
have been told that it can be done.

Email me off list if you want any more pointers.

Thanks,

Dan
