Copying to a spreadsheet really isn’t a great solution after you’ve figured out how to get an invoice formatted the way you want and then after a couple of years generate an invoice with too many lines and it breaks in the middle of a line badly…

Yes there is such a tag and it is used in the reports, but it is optional (!) for browsers to respect that tag when generating a print version of the page.
