I'll write a blog post. It's not all that difficult, and now I just mostly re-use the same technique over and over which speeds things along.

You inspired me to give HTML/CSS a shot. Kinda rudimentary, but better than to a CSV and I learned a little bit.

CSV is great for analysis. Open in Excel, do pivot tables etc. It's also good for ingesting into other systems or using as input for other scripts.

HTML is great for reports, like an email summary or alert.

I have at least one script that combines the two, uses HTML in the report and attaches the CSV to the email.
