* integration of an entire new, more XML based approach using Report
Markup Language (RML) and XSLT: enhanced flexibility, better PDF's etc.

PyOpenOffice 0.4 - The Document Tool
The Usability of OpenOffice.org meeting the Power of XML Reporting
Technologies - without installing OOo on your server

What is PyOpenOffice?
     * It is an XML based reporting tool, using OpenOffice.org as an
easy to use template generator
     * It is a class library, written in the Python Language.
     * It is a platform-independent command-line utility (most abilities
of the commandline interface are still missing)

What can PyOpenOffice do for you? Here some examples:

     * Make serial letters, lists and reports from templates in the
SXW-Format and store them anew as SXW-Files
     * Replace pictures - generate catalogues, worksheets, photo
galleries etc. from an SXW-Template.
     * Extract the pure text information from the SXW-Document and store
it in a plain text file or a PDF-File
     * Transform SXW-Files to PDF-Files without installing OO - for
example on a webserver
     * Use OOo as template generator and transform SXW files to RML
(Report Markup Language) files
     * Make serial letters, lists and reports from templates in the RML
format and transform them to PDF / HTML
     * Replace pictures - generate catalogues, worksheets, photo
galleries etc. from an RML template and transform them to PDF / HTML
