Hello, I recently stumbled across Glom and really like it, once I got it to run on Debian.
I would love to see a more advanced reporting function. My idea is e.g. that glom can export certain data/values into a LaTeX-template and call LatexMK after that to render a pdf file. Use case: gradebooks for students. Automatically produce nice looking gradebooks for every student in the database, without using spreadsheets to calculate grades or a word processor to fill out a gradebook. I know Latex but no Python. Maybe PlasTex (http://plastex.sourceforge.net/plastex/index.html), Pytex (http://www.pytex.org/), Cheetah (http://www.cheetahtemplate.org/, http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/41875/generate-latex-truth-table-with-python-cheetah), or Pyandoc (https://github.com/kennethreitz/pyandoc) would be good starting points? My general question is: could this be done with glom? If yes: how much work would be needed to code a function to insert data from glom into an Latex template and render a pdf file? thank you in advance!
