PDF reports feature

[iilyak]

Very interesting project!!!

It might be nice to be able to produce pdf reports from a text based templates. The https://github.com/typst/typst might be great fit for that. There is an example how to use typst from rust here https://github.com/tfachmann/typst-as-library

Thanks! The typst looks indeed very interesting and PDF reports would be nice feature later on.

There could be a shortcut to implement PDF reports:

Typst has support for reading JSON from file, and Tackler (not yet Tackler-NG!) has support for JSON output. So combining these two could be maybe used for PDF reports with correct typst template.

Direct links to some example reports:

• TXT: audit-1E1-01.ref.bal.txt
• JSON: audit-1E1-01.ref.bal.json

In a week or two there will be Tackler-NG CLI version which has rough feature parity in txt reports and configuration system with Tackler, and the JSON support will be the next set of functionality after that.
