And you offer latex and all other kind of things, too?
That's the whole issue: you don't understand. SQL is for
information retrieval, presentation thereof is and should (for
a clean design) be independent of the retrieval. There's
already a highly popular database out there that breaks
and "enhances" standards. And there are tools available
that will take tabular textual data and convert it into other
file formats; no need to turn postgres into an egg-laying
wool-bearing milk-sow.
