PDF Generator

The main idea is: Create Document DSL with simple api to generate PDF report with simple customization.

For example:

d = Document()
    .addComponent(Table().addRow(...).addRow(...))
    .addComponent(List().addItem(...).addItem(...))
    .addComponent(<a href="https://github.com/yazabara">yazabara repo</a>)
    ....

PdfGenerator.generate(doc)

For now there are 3 base components:

• Table: html <table>
• List: html <ul>
• Custom: any html code

And one custom component:

• Question block (custom html code)

There is possibility to customize pdf reports using css (weasyprint).
