Hey Marcus
Thanks for the pointers which I will look at closely. So far, they
indicate to me that this is not a trivial task!

I want to server-side generate a report from a database,

generate the report in HTML/CSS for presentation on a web page where
browser printing leaves much to be desired anyway. Content includes
styled text and images. I don't know ahead of time how much text
will be provided by the database or the sizes of any images which are
served by URLs. The final document can be of the order of 100-200 pages.
If LaTeX is too unstructured, DocBook might work for you.

Pandoc is a powerful converter from there..

It might be too optimistic to convert your existing HTML to LaTeX, but
it might be worth a try.
