You want Open Report: http://www.openreport.org/
Then you can make tables in RML, like this:

<blockTable>
  <tr>
    <td>KERRY, JOHN</td>
    <td>ID 12345 -- 2004/12/12</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>1. Looser</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>2. Dumb</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>3. Laugh without any reason</td>
  </tr>
</blockTable>

More info: RTFM on the site.
