Reporting with Jinja2

Visualizations and graphs are excellent for identifying obvious patterns in the dataset. However, as trends emerge from multiple sources, more in-depth reporting is required, as well as descriptions of the techniques used for those not directly involved in the project. Instead of creating these reports by hand, application-oriented analyses make use of template languages to dynamically construct documents at the time of analysis. Jinja2 is a Python library that is used to generate documents by combining a template-usually an HTML file, but it can be any kind of text file-with a context, a data source that is used to fill in the template. This combination is ideal to report on the analyses that we're performing.
