What is best way to create custom documents?

[Chris Helck <Ch...@us.icap.com>]

I need to create a site document that includes reports that are
extracted/created from a database, and I'm wondering what the best way
to do this is. I've been able to create report plugins that generate the
reports as stand alone documents, so accessing the DB from maven is not
the problem. I need one document that includes all text and generated
reports. How can I do this?

I've thought of extending the APT syntax to include some sort of macro
substitution, but I really don't know if that is a good idea, or how to
do it. Is there a way to somehow extend/modify an velocity template? I'm
pretty clueless about how this works, so any help would be great.

Thanks,
C. Helck
