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.
