Idea: report template cutomization about ghostwriter HOT 5 CLOSED

Ah ha! I had some folks mentions python-docx-template to me again recently and I forgot why it was already on my mind.

PR #66 has implemented template customization. The new template.docx in the repo is a decent example of a basic template. It's not documented yet, but Ghostwriter will continue to build on this foundation. The basics are covered in the documentation for https://github.com/elapouya/python-docx-template. The Ghostwriter project will have some of its own options that will be documented as we move forwarded.

For now, customization uses the python-docx-template Jinja2 tags (as documented within that project) and a {{p findings_subdoc }} variable that drops in the findings as a sub-document.

We do have plans for something like this. It's a lower priority than what we're working on now (see your idea from issue #27). The key reason being that additional logging will undoubtedly change how we look at report generation. I expect we will hash out details for both enhancements in January.

An alternative that might be also interesting, at least for docx reports, would be to use something like https://github.com/elapouya/python-docx-template, which is based on the templating language Jinja2.

Ah, interesting... thanks for sharing that. We use python-docx, so perhaps this might be useful.

Awesome, thanks a lot for the good work! I'll try it out later
