Dave, that does sound promising. Has anyone done this? Michael, here is a very brief demo to let you see what is involved in using DP to generate HTML pages https://b1conrad.github.io/dp-html/ . This shows how to produce a very bare-bones page that contains the data from one panel, with one paragraph per record. Just looked at the result on my phone and it's readable ( https://b1conrad.github.io/dp-html/DEMO.HTM ) although not at all pretty.
If this is the kind of thing you need, I'll be happy to be your coach and mentor as you go through the learning curve.
