Formatting output for reports

2

You don’t have many options, since Coda is more for data than for typesetting.

  1. You can print to PDF whatever you have in a section. You’ll have to hide the section list and use the browser print dialog for that, since the default one (Ctrl+P) is overridden to print the whole doc.

  2. You can decorate your section with images. Including using decoration-less tables to position text and images, like here (lol):

  3. If standard formatting options are not enough, you can resort to generating invoices as SVG images using this trick:

    This is pretty pro though. You’ll probably need to make a layout in some vector editor like Adobe Illustrator or Affinity Designer, export it as SVG, then set up placeholders to fill in by Coda. In other words, you can have it as you want, but you’ll have to sweat for it. Also with SVGs it’s quite problematic to have multi-line text: it simply doesn’t support it as of now.
