This is in fact a good example of how analog could benefit from having a
few more builtin features (instead of leaving these to external bolt-on
tools).
In order to produce e.g. a report in XHTML, one need to run analog to
produce the XML report, then use saxon or xalan or some such with an
XSLT stylesheet.
