[reportlab-users] Dynamic Tables

[Brandon Rich]

Hope this helps a little...

I am hoping to create an invoice template that can be used over and over
repeatable.  I was looking around online, and found that the flowable
element paragraph can accept certain XML tags.  I have yet to see an
example of the <table> tag being one of them.  Is there an example of
this anywhere that you know of?   

Thanks

Brandon

I'm not sure what you mean.  There's really no such thing as a "static 
table".  The Table class just takes strings.  You can send string 
constants, or you can send your data as a string.  There's no difference

in usage.  You just build up a list of lists and hand it to the Table 
class constructor.

Perhaps you could post an example of what you are looking for.
