Thanks! I thought upon first reading the ReportLab docs that the library would automatically split up an XML document with <para> elements into paragraph objects. After some digging, I found that the <para> element accepts some style attributes. For more information, refer to page 64 of the ReportLab userguide.pdf.
The invoice idea should work very well -- ReportLab supports tables in their PLATYPUS module. Let us know how it goes. It seems that every programmer everywhere is faced with generating invoices at some point in their career. :-) Tim Christopher Arndt wrote: > Timothy Freund schrieb: >> I wrote a tutorial on how to generate PDF documents using TurboGears, >> Cheetah, and ReportLab.
