Thanks a lot Duncan!

I did some home-work and found out that in terms of table looks, it's
neater to generate Excel 2010 style colorful tables, not the Latex
style plain/math-geek tables...

Therefore, a report generator would hopefully generate Excel 2010
style tables, plus R plots, etc.

Any thoughts?

Thanks a lot!
