Dmitry,

on first reading only had the STRONG urge to make you rethink enabling HTML report output.
Wondering on my strong hunch, I guess for me the dichtomic PDF / Ascii table is valid for a lot of scenarios,
but HTML is not that unusual this millenium.

After mulling a bit : I STILL think I'd discuss the benefit/ (continuing&future!) effort ratio for such a task a bit more.
BUT: large part of quesy feeling comes from planned way of creating output via tool like xfrx.

If your angle is the "paper similar" output, stay with PDF and ASCII. If HTML really is necessary,
do it right: just create a data set in JSON and define HTML reports for that, mirroring V-VM scenarios of best practice in GUI design.
Viewing on mobile will be next issue, and doing refinements via vfp report might become too Goldbergian
