Ruport now has a brand new formatting system, some massive cleanup in
the internals, and merry chunky bacon for all!
== What is Ruby Reports? ==
Ruport is a framework specialized for business reporting. It provides
a custom toolkit that has features such as database interaction, data
manipulation, extensible formatting, and flexible report generation.
Ruby Reports makes reporting less painful by providing a simple and
consistent way of developing your applications. This lets you focus on
your task without undue friction.

erb/textile methods and other feature enhancements) -
