Qweb XML Reports
================

This module was written to extend the functionality of the reporting engine to
support XML reports and allow modules to generate them by code or by QWeb
templates.

Installation
============

To install this module, you need to:

* Install the repository `reporting-engine`_.

Configuration
=============

No manual configuration is needed.

Usage
=====

This module is technical, so its usage instructions are intended for module
developers.

To use this module, you need to:

* Create a module.
* Make it depend on this one.
* Follow `instructions to create reports`_ having in mind that the
  ``report_type`` field in your ``ir.actions.report.xml`` record must be
  ``qweb-xml``.

In case you want to create a `custom report`_, the instructions remain the same
as for HTML reports, and the method that you must override is also called
``render_html``, even when this time you are creating a XML report.

You can visit http://<server-address>/report/xml/<module.report_name>/<ids>
to see your XML report online as a web page.
