I need to included a summary attributed to all html table tags?
Is there a template that I can modify so that the summary attribute is
set automatically and I don't have to edit the reports after
generating them?

From what everyone else has said, it seems you need to 'post-process' 
(i.e. change the report after Analog has written it).

If you know a programming language that can read and write files, the 
task here isn't very difficult.  If you don't, ignore the rest of this! 
 <grin>

Judging from my Analog reports, the significant bits in the report seem 
to be:

<a name="daysum" id="daysum">Daily Summary</a>
<a name="hoursum" id="hoursum">Hourly Summary</a>
and so on for the other parts of the report.

'a name=' can be recognised and the bit between '>' and '<' describes 
the following table, so can be used in your summary attribute.

Crudely the program code needs to:
-----------------------------------
open the original file to read and a new one to write the new version

loop while not end of input file

  loop

    read a line from the old file and

    write it to the new one

  until the line includes 'a name=' OR end of file

  if not end of file

    Store the bit between '>' and '<'  (the summary name you want)

    read a line from the old file

    loop

      write line to the new file

     read a line from the old file

    until the line includes '<table>'

    insert your summary attribute within the table tag in this line

    write the changed line to the new file

  end if

end while loop

close both files

stop
-----------------------------------

If you don't know a suitable language, maybe you know someone who 
does...  <grin>

All the best,

Roger
