Hello EveryOne,

Now you can create your HTML reports using Mako Templates for faster and formatted output.OpenERP has added new type of report called mako2html. Mako is a template library written in Python. It provides a familiar, non-XML syntax which compiles into Python modules for maximum performance.

Advantages:

• Fast: simple three-sectioned layout mako template report takes 1.10 ms
• Control structures constructed from real Python code (i.e. loops, conditionals) Which will allow user to create reports faster.
• Straight Python blocks, inline or at the module-level

You can format the report as you need using HTML.

Requirements:

• Mako 0.2.4 should be installed on your system.
• openERP-server : Trunk version
• openERP-client : Trunk version
• openERP-addons : Trunk version

As an overview lets see a small example

For your company header you need to include 

<%include file="mako_header.html"/>
