## Template System

### Custom Templates
Users can provide custom templates for HTML/PDF generation:

```json
{
  "template_type": "html",
  "template_path": "templates/custom_report.html",
  "variables": {
    "company_logo": "https://example.com/logo.png",
    "brand_color": "#667eea",
    "include_footer": true
  }
}
```

**Template Variables** (mustache-style):
- `{{company}}`
- `{{primary_domain}}`
- `{{generated_at}}`
- `{{overall_score}}`
- `{{technologies}}` (loop)
- `{{evidence}}` (nested loop)

### Built-in Templates
- **default**: Standard template with all sections
- **executive**: Executive summary focus, minimal technical details
- **technical**: Detailed technical evidence, all signals included
- **minimal**: Technologies and confidence only, no evidence details

## Output Formats Comparison

| Format | Use Case | File Size | Generation Time | Interactivity |
|--------|----------|-----------|-----------------|---------------|
| **JSON** | Programmatic access, storage | Small | Fast | None |
| **Markdown** | Documentation, version control | Small | Fast | None |
| **HTML** | Web viewing, sharing | Medium | Medium | High |
| **PDF** | Formal reports, printing | Large | Slow | Low |

## Output Format

### Success Output
```json
{
  "status": "success",
  "export_format": "html",
  "output_file": "outputs/techstack_reports/Acme_Corporation_20240120_100000.html",
  "file_size_bytes": 34567,
  "generation_time_ms": 850,
  "includes_sections": ["summary", "assets", "technologies", "confidence", "metadata"]
}
```

### Error Output
```json
{
  "status": "error",
  "error_code": "PDF_GENERATION_FAILED",
  "error_message": "PDF renderer not available - install wkhtmltopdf",
  "attempted_format": "pdf",
  "fallback_available": "html"
}
```

## Error Handling

### Missing Dependencies
- **IF PDF renderer not available** → Error with installation instructions
- **IF template file not found** → Fall back to default template
- **IF output directory not writable** → Error with permission details

### Malformed Report Data
- **IF report missing required fields** → Skip section, log warning
- **IF evidence array empty** → Display "No evidence recorded"
- **IF URLs invalid** → Format as plain text (no hyperlink)

### Generation Failures
- **IF HTML generation fails** → Return error with partial HTML
- **IF PDF rendering fails** → Suggest HTML export instead
- **IF file write fails** → Check disk space, permissions

## Dependencies

### Required Skills
- json_report_generator (provides JSON report)

### Required Libraries
- Markdown generation: Native string formatting
- HTML generation: Template engine (Jinja2, Mustache)
- PDF generation: wkhtmltopdf, Playwright, or WeasyPrint

### External Tools
- **wkhtmltopdf** (optional, for PDF export)
- **Chrome/Chromium** (optional, for PDF via Playwright)

## Configuration

### Settings (from settings.json)
```json
{
  "report_export": {
    "default_formats": ["json", "markdown", "html"],
    "output_directory": "outputs/techstack_reports/",
    "markdown_include_emoji": true,
    "html_template": "default",
    "html_theme": "professional",
    "pdf_renderer": "wkhtmltopdf",
    "pdf_page_size": "A4",
    "pdf_orientation": "portrait"
  }
}
```

## Usage Example

```json
{
  "operation": "export_to_html",
  "inputs": {
    "report": { /* TechStackReport JSON */ },
    "output_path": "outputs/techstack_reports/"
  },
  "options": {
    "template": "default",
    "exclude_low_confidence": false
  }
}
```

## Best Practices

1. **Keep JSON as source of truth** - Export from JSON, never edit exports directly
2. **Use appropriate format** - HTML for sharing, Markdown for docs, PDF for formal
3. **Test templates** - Validate with sample data before production use
4. **Optimize file sizes** - Compress images, minify HTML/CSS
5. **Version templates** - Track template changes separately

## Accessibility Considerations

### HTML Export
- **Semantic HTML** (proper heading hierarchy)
- **ARIA labels** for interactive elements
- **Alt text** for images (if used)
- **Keyboard navigation** support
- **Screen reader friendly** structure

### PDF Export
- **Tagged PDF** for accessibility
- **Proper heading hierarchy**
- **Readable font sizes** (minimum 10pt)
- **High contrast** text and backgrounds

## Limitations

- **PDF generation requires external tools** (not pure Python/JS)
- **Large reports may have slow PDF rendering** (3-5 seconds)
- **Custom templates require HTML/CSS knowledge**
- **Markdown has limited styling** (no colors, basic formatting only)
- **HTML requires modern browser** (may not work in IE11)

## Security Considerations

- **Sanitize all URLs** (prevent XSS in HTML export)
- **Validate file paths** (prevent directory traversal)
- **Escape HTML entities** (prevent injection in templates)
- **Set safe file permissions** (644 for exports)
- **No external resource loading** (inline all CSS/JS)

## Performance Optimization

### For Large Reports (>100 technologies)
- **Paginate HTML** (sections on separate pages)
- **Lazy load evidence** (collapsible, load on demand)
- **Compress PDF** (reduce file size)
- **Cache templates** (reuse for multiple exports)

### Parallel Export
```json
{
  "operation": "export_multiple_formats",
  "parallel": true,
  "formats": ["markdown", "html", "pdf"]
}
```

## Version History

- **1.0.0** (2024-01-20): Initial implementation with Markdown, HTML, and PDF export
