Multi-page invoices

[R. Victor Klassen]

I tried exporting to html, and opening the result in OpenOffice.   That would allow me to do what I need, once or twice.    Not particularly sustainable.

The next step would be to write an awk script to fix the html so it creates multiple tables, and appropriate headers.    Better than having to edit the invoice in OpenOffice, but nicer not to have to run a script from the command line.

If someone wants to point me at the code, I would consider doing it right, but I don't know my way around the code at this point.   And only if the solution is in the C code, not the scheme, as this is not how I would choose to learn scheme.
