We've got an analog extension in the works that will format the computer
readable output into pretty reports with the fonts you choose, the colors you
choose, and graphs. At the moment it delivers HTML4.0/Transitional compliant
code (it uses FONT tags). I'll let you all know when a beta is available and
then we can think about an option to use style sheets and build HTML4.0/Strict
pages
Right now, the problem with 4.0/Strict (where FONT FACE is depricated) is that
only 4+ browsers support it (check your logs, ~45% of users?) and the other
browsers will end up reverting back to 2.0-like output or even less. By
formatting HTML4.0/Trans, most 3.x browsers are happy with it too and for ~85%
of the users you get good looking result.
Anyway, I'll post something here in the next week or so about a beta (I hope
:).
