You mean ERb templates? Yeah, we support them, though I've never had
any feature requests or suggestions about them so I tend to forget
they're even there. Here is a simple example

# foo.rb
require "ruport"

class MyReport < Ruport::Report

def generate
@html_table = [[1,2,3],[4,5,6]].to_table(%w[a b c]).to_html
erb "foo.rhtml"
end

end

puts MyReport.run

# foo.rhtml

<html>
<body>
<%= @html_table %>
</body>
</html>

--------------------------------------------------------

If you'd like to chat about this some more, the best place to do it is
the Ruport mailing list
( http://list.rubyr... ) [ which is just a different URI for
the same list Chris Carter linked ]

warm regards,

No, I mean, that if I have a query and I need to display data in
different formats(html, pdf, csv), can I describe data's view in some
file such as test.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE report >
<Report fontSize="9" orientation="landscape">
<ReportHeader>
<Output>
<Line/>
<Line fontSize="16">
<literal>Something:</literal>
</Line>
<Line/>
<Line fontSize="12">
<literal>Report's name</literal>
</Line>
<Line fontsize="4"/>
<HorizontalLine size="4" bgcolor="'white'"/>
<HorizontalLine size="2" bgcolor="'black'"/>
<HorizontalLine size="4" bgcolor="'white'"/>
</Output>
</ReportHeader>
.....................
.....................

or in yaml format, and after this when I generate my report in all
formats, I will have data good looking.

Now, when I execute code somthing like this:

class MyRuport < Ruport::Report
include DogTag

attr_accessor :main_query
attr_accessor :parameters
attr_accessor :output_format

prepare do

generate do

query(main_query, {:as => output_format.to_sym})
end

end

ruport = MyReport.new
ruport.main_query = "select * from test_table"
ruport.output_format = "html"

ruport.run{ |res| puts res.results }

I have results:
<table>
<tr>
<th>id</th>
<th>test</th>
</tr>
</table>

O something like this in pdf...

Can I put into my project some template file that will give outout data
looks better? And how can I do this with ruport. And have the ruport
some standart ways to solve this problem.

Thank you for answers. Artem Lakin.

No. But let's talk about this over on the Ruport list. Sounds like a
great idea for a plugin.
