Just to add a method that we create documents (and PDF from them) in our system: we use LibreOffice documents as templates (which are zip files), and with HTML::Template, Archive::Zip, some Perl glue and https://github.com/unoconv/unoconv with LibreOffice (it is also work as a headless server). It is not as straightforward as with LaTeX, but it works for us - we need PDF only as option, main format for generated documents is Open Document Format, and it is a convenient to create document template in LibreOffice with variable holders like %THIS_IS_VAR% and then in our Perl glue we're replace %THIS_IS_VAR% in content.xml file inside of ODF file with HTML::Template's variables like <TMPL NAME=THIS_IS_VAR>.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
