Identify the best way to create pptx/docx files from reporting templates #922

Open chiatt opened 2 years ago

Currently we use python-docx to create Word documents from word templates. We need to be able to do a similar thing with pptx templates.

One option might be to treat docx and pptx as standard django templates and use the django templating engine to create documents from these templates. If that is problematic, we may need to continue to use python-docx for Word templates and something like python-pptx for Power-Point templates. We might also consider using python-docx-templates instead of python-docx.
